Is hard for people who not live on house to install solar panels, and also who live on rent can't install solar panels but i agree there should be more solar panels, and also people who not afford can't buy them.

solar is not the cheapest. nor is it the most productive (night time restrictions on generation)
though compared to coal and oil it is cheaper.
there are other options too, mainly hydro has the best potential energy that can be utilised night and day, though not so independantly installable residentially due to lack of rivers/streams/creeks at each household.

Not to mention wind generated electricity which is creating more than 10% of the power needed in countries like germany and sweden annually, there is a big opportunity for mining and blockchain with the developements happening in the renewable energy field

Would help a great deal if the governments actually helped with the implementations though.

Poor countries usually have corrupt governments. And corrupt governments don't invest in people's well being.
So I guess that you are expecting too much if you ask governments help such initiative in poor countries - whether it's Africa or other continents.

I'm curious why so few ppl\companies use solar panels? It's so cheap and it'lll save some resourses of our planet. So why don't we use it?

Though the cost of electricity generated from solar projects is very less, The initial investment in solar projects is huge as solar panels and inverters are costly. Even climate conditions affect the solar energy production. These are some of few reasons causing hindrance to growth of solar energy.

Indeed, solar energy calls for huge investments and that is why only a few of our population are into solar electricity generation. Of course, if one has the capacity to invest money over time the cost can be recovered and the return of investment can be good. This is what I am planning soon when I will be developing a parcel of land my family own but the location has no traditional supply of power. We are all hoping that soon the cost of this technology can lower further so that more and more people gonna exploit the power of the sun including those involved in bitcoin and cryptocurrency mining.

the UK for instance during winter only gets sunlight from ~8am to 4pm
thats 8 hours.
in that time it has to absorb enough energy to cover 24 hours. meaning the solar panels need to absorb 3x more energy than the hourly consumption. in short if your using 2kw an hour then you need solar panels that can get 6kwh

you then need inverters and also battery capacity to store 32kwh. or sell the spare 32khw to the grid during the day, and then buy 32kwh from the grid when needed during the evening/night

Probably the main reason why people don't use solar panels it's because they are not quite cheap. The average price for a solar panel installation is around $11.000. The problem is not their functionality because over the years you would more than recover that money and then you basically have free energy but the problem is the initial cost for the installation of such panels.

For a large scale mining operation, one needs to possess an arsenal of solar panels, and we know how much it will cost, not to mention the machines for mining and infrastructure that will house both. The cost is significantly higher than just having your local energy provider hook you up, with little to no maintenance cost for power source. Power is significantly cheaper too since companies provide special rates for industrial connections. If solar panels become affordable, perhaps miners would switch to it, but for now that alternative is crossed out from the options due to its hefty capital requirements.

I worked out that depending on where you live solar panels will pay themselves off within 7-10 years. It also depends on how much sun your country gets as well. Maybe if you take a loan you can break even with the electricity bill and then it's free forever. I think for young people it is a good investment.

I see how in Europe and America many people are starting to equip houses with solar panels and so many of their projects on green energy are incredible. Unfortunately, for the time being, in our country it is forbidden to install individual solar power plants, which contributes to the growth of popularity.

What!? So you can't do what you want with your own house? I wouldn't want to live there.

It is not as cheap and efficient as some try to make it look. And other sources such as oil and coal are extremely cheap and still abundant and much more efficient. The choice of solar panels and alternative sources will always be an eco-choice, not efficiency gains.

Amazingly, as science progresses. The development of transparent solar panels should be a revolution. Especially considering how many projects appear that combine the extraction of solar energy and mining.

Poeple are know what the use and help of solar panel as source of power, but the reason why some people not using that divice because is too expensive start capital buying a whole set. Than to aply the power source came from the government or private company operated a power source with cheap payment to install power supply from electric company.

In some country, the price of solar panels is not low and they still prefer using electricity from their city.
If we want to use renewable energy, then solar panels will be a good choice, but the company which created the solar panels should use a low price to sell in the developing country so their people can buy the solar panels.

Do you have several panels in orbit that beam you the energy around the clock?

You don't need this to save power. You use the grid when there is no sun, and when there is sun the power is free, idealistically halving your bill. But wait, there is more... What if you overproduce power when there is sun? Depending on country/state, the power meter goes backwards. You can either get the bill close to zero, or even go negative so they will deduct it from your next bill (and in some cases even pay you).

Given the amount of energy large mining operations use, this is harder to see for them than for small miners or home users. But it works the same. Each panel you add, will reduce your power bill. Is THAT simple.

Elon Musk has access to BOTH solar panels, batteries AND space. He could actually think of sending a satellite to microwave energy back down if that ever becomes feasible. But in the meantime, a Grid Tie Inverter and panels is all you need, and you can start with a few hundred dollars, much less than a late model asic miner, and its going to last you decades.

Solar and other renewables such as wind turbines are very attractive in the most expensive electricity countries like South Korea, even for domestic home use it makes no sense NOT to buy into it.

Damn of off topic post on main board. This kind of threads only damaging the reputation of the bitcointalk. We need to learn first on this forum where to start and how to start the posting.

Unwanted topics at irrelevant boards will create the way to create spamyard. Please be careful next time.

I believe that most mining companies are aware of this.
Some of them even switched to solar energy.
Even normal people are trying to switch to because they find it cheaper and environmentally safe and friendly but I doubt if some areas could switch to it.
It's really perfect to use solar energy especially if you're in a mining business for you will be able to save energy.

I believe there are two of the hottest directions for development now. These are projects on green energy and educational training for the blockchain. Solar energy is especially progressing well, which is caused by global environmental problems. And of course, a great interest of people to the topic of cryptocurrency. I like the fact that now the project Taklimakan is ready to provide gradual training even to users who have recently heard about bitcoin and blockchain.

I have seen that there is blockchain training at some universities, but so far it is not available to foreigners. Therefore, independent projects may well help increase the number of trained users. And I hope that the growth of interest in the topic of blockchain technologies and science will also be able to support

Not every person can install a solar panel because it needs his own land plot or a roof. For residents of apartment buildings classical models are not available. But creating solar panels that can be built right into the windows is an amazing development.
