@Jeeps1974 This is solar thermal, not photovaltaic. Those are trough mirrors focusing sunlight onto the tube that rungs along the center to heat up oil, which boils water to create steam. Very efficient.
@Etimos You'd have to watch most of my videos where I explain everything in terms of changing my lifestyle to drastically cut my energy use first before bringing in solar electric....
@MrEnergyCzar I would like to know how you made a net-zero solar home, and whether it would be feasible to do so in Canada. Our house is very old, very large, and unfortunately rather poorly insulated, and we're spending a fortune in gas every winter to compensate. It'll cost us about a hundred thousand dollars to completely re-insulate this house and bring the walls and windows up to spec, and in the meantime, any money we can save would help.
Great video...I converted my home to a net-zero solar powered home that uses no oil or gas...I made a video about it called, "Preparing for Peak Oil"....
@lumberdoktor Haha Those aren't solar panels. they are solar parabolic mirrors that Heat Water at the focus point. it then becomes steam energy!

The farm uses a lot of land. How much energy is actually produced?

What type of panels are you using?

Solar farms can be a positive solution to most of our energy problems. This is good work indeed!
