The BC Solar Scam

                                          Data Talks and Bullshit Walks Whats wrong with this picture?   Below is the graph of  a sunny days solar output from the Balfour Golf Clubhouse Solar system. The on line public data shows 24.8kW of solar power installed.  Its actually 40.26kW installed but the phony number 24.8kW makes it look like the best local system around. Now that they have corrected the phony 24.8kW installed to the actual 40.26kW installed the three Balfour systems are all the local worst performing systems.  Making up to 30% less power than anyone else. So whats going on?  I have asked to have this corrected from the beginning, everyone was doing everything to discredit me and asscover.  Why are these systems performing so poorly?  A little of it has to do with solar panels facing E and W.  But the Seniors centre panels are optimally south and its no better. Could it be used   solar panels?  I don't think thats it, could they be underperforming solar panels they di

 As a city resident I have to be glad they are going after you rural people to pay more for Nelson hydro power excess Fortis power purchases.  Nelson hydro can't make all their power and buy half from Fortis most in winter if not all. Th is going after another  5.72% rurally each sept. 1 for the next 3 years.   In addition to the estimated normal January increases could amount to rural electric bills approaching 28% more in that time. On the morning of Feb. 8th, 2021 a new record of power consumption was created for Nelson hydro. I am sure we have had much colder times it must have been a bad coincidence that everyone got up and turned everything on at the same time. This resulted in an extra $59,000 per month charge for the next years power purchases from Fortis. There is some kind of formula, sometimes referred to as a ratchet clause,  or wire and line charges. The city estimated over $7M in Fortis power purchases this coming year, with this additional $59,000 per month  plus the
