Why don't solar power panel manufacturers use their own solar panels to power their factories?
Question:
Answer:
Honestly, it is because solar panels alone are too unreliable (cloudy days, etc.) and WAY too expensive to use and maintain. It would not be economically feasible.
wow what a great question if it is true. I would guess that it might be a matter of scale. They may not have enough room on their roof for their power requirements. Factories typically use a lot more power per square foot of their buildings than, for example, residential applications. Perhaps they could partner with neighboring landowners for their space.
some do, but solar doesn't make enough power right now to run a large manufacturing plant by itself, unless u had a whole lot of panels which they might not have room for.
Simple. First, you need a very large battery or some sort of storage facility to (obviously) store the power you may have gained from the panels.
Second, individual political and financial agenda which I don't have enough time to enumerate and explain to you.
