  • There is. I do it, it’s my job as a solar engineer.

    Basically, there are several leading softwares that solar engineers use to account for just about anything that happens in the real world.

    I mainly use PVsol premium where I 3d model each site and the panel placements and electrical components and so on, then run a minute scale simulation based on the exact location weather data (using Metronorm 8.3)…

    Almost no one outside my field understands what goes into my job. It doesn’t help that there’s a lot of untrained people pretending to do what I do…




















  • I’m from Sweden, we’re among the best in the world at recycling. We have closed all our landfills and even import combustible trash to burn for energy (we clean the fumes extremely well).

    Every time I see a discussion about trash anywhere in the world I get sad that people are so uninformed about what’s possible.

    One Swedish company, Swedish Plastic Recycling, is currently building a recycling plant that will be able to handle ALL of the country’s plastic waste and automatically recycle almost all of the kinds of plastic there are.

    This is even profitable if done right.
