Thank you.
There are some problems there that are visible, but it was complicated because a basically criminal contractor started the project and we had to remove most of the equipment and reinstall. But, that's why the tilts are not really very good.
That's 200kw - will average about a 1000kwh/day.
It's big for me, but by no means a huge solar project.
The last question is tricky. Earth's energy?
The growth of solar energy for electrical power is pretty astounding. (note that that chart goes down to zero - not one of those where they trick you into thinking a change is bigger than it really is.)
When I started in the business solar was basically zero percent of anything, now it's a serious part of the energy sector in many places and it's still growing like that and prices are still falling fast.
