County Governor of Viken: No to wind turbines
From October to February, we struggle with the fact that, for long periods, very little sunlight reaches our solar panels. The sun’s angle is much lower, so less energy is captured; there are fewer hours of sunlight per day; there are fewer days with blue skies and sunshine; and the solar panels tend to get covered in snow. All in all, this means that a typical week in December can yield as little as 5%–10% of a typical week in July. The only way to compensate for this is to charge the batteries using our generator—which is both noisy and causes some complications when it comes to renting out the property.
