       The cost of renewable collector systems such as wind turbines and solar PV panels continues to decline.    This has often been used as a reason why policy should favour more build out.     Allow me to explore this question using Ontario’s wind data.https://energyasicit.ca/WindModel/

       Same exploration for Ontario’s grid connected solar PV farms yields.   438MW nameplate.   77MW hourly avg since 2024Jan1.   0.3TWh.     If one wants 50MW 24/7 would need 25GWh for seasonal storage.    Surplus only begins at beginning of Apr and is consistent from May1.#solarPV
