[GreenKeys] How much juice from a solar array?

[Olaf DL8OBH]

Hello Tony,

regarding energy harvesting through sun I'm a bit split: When I heard 
lectures on "modern energy harvesting" 25 years ago, told us our 
university teacher, that a solar cell on Earth did'nt payback the energy 
that was needed for their production.
Maybe it's better now ???
In Germany there are several solar farms or large roofs with solar 
cells, but all subsidized by the state....

(I hope I do not write the total nonsense, above text largely translated 
by Google Translator) ;-)

Have Fun,

Olaf  -  DL8OBH / AF0A
