This is true, you'd be amazed how much we have to pay for lodging (it's generally our companies who pay it and they will literally pay anything). That goes for solar, oil/gas, and wind. Sure there will always be maintenance, but there aren't nearly as many guys out there as there are for construction. So you if you have flat land, add RV parking, food, gas, all other convinces. Once the initial build is up (2-4 years) you buy more land down the road and sell the former rv parking spots. Then move the convince store location to a large trailer, and sell the construction company that building and then truck in the cheapest gas because they have the tanks for equipment. That's how a ton of people I know have become multi multi millionaires in a few years

Putting aggrivoltaic style panels above your pump jacks is a good way to diversify your income, increase your profit per surface acre and/or power the motors on your pumps.

@davidrubinstein5359hailstorms are nonexistent in large chunks of the country(such as the locations where solar is most effective) and even then it’s not that hard to figure out a solution for them, a low tech solution would be just to watch the news and have some $12 hr chump come and put sheet metal panels over them before any potentially damaging weather events. You could even install a roof over the farm depending on how it’s set up but you would be losing space efficiency because you’d have to do it in strips to avoid covering the panels with shade during the peak which is where most of the power comes from. We shouldn’t be discouraging power companies from experimenting and trying to find more efficient ways of generating power, the old ways are dangerous. Even if you don’t believe in climate change the health concerns from being next to a coal power plant are something that can’t be denied, the less cancer causing coal dust there is the better. Maybe solar doesn’t work out, but maybe in the process we find something that works even better. That’s how progress happens. People said the same shit about switching from horses to cars because horses were a lot better then the original cars were, but over time they got better. This is what’s happening right now, we are at that uncomfortable stage where the electric cars and the green energy is just worse then the old ways, but the potential is leaps and bounds ahead of those old ways and one day there will be people who view the skeptics of our time as morons.

🤔 Um a few things. Solar panels aren't made out of plastics? The bulk mass of the panel is silicon😅 then there is metals doped in along with the electric components. The plastic involved might be strictly for things like around wiring. I'd bet less than 1% of total mass is plastic. That being said plastic production isn't that difficult from non oil sources btw...

Make double the money. Elevate the solar panels on top of a large mini storage unit. That way you can rent out the building for mini storage and sell the electricity and never have to exert much maintenance.

Truth

I looked into solar farm investment and he couldn't be more right. it's good for the locals, it's good for the investor, the maintenance employees make out like bandits, and the local industry benefits as well. problem is the upfront cost. but if you can find a creative way to stick that pig... it's a pretty low-maintenance cashflow opportunity, that really benefits everyone. if I were him I would talk to the investor and ask him about maintaining the farm for him. there's really not a whole lot to it, it pays VERY well, and getting a kickback from the job and keeping an eye on the asset (some people like to steal panels) the investor (who is likely a "long-distance" investor) would certainly pay you handsomely. you could also make offer for the investor to rent a part of your land to increase his surface area. if the numbers make sense for him you could turn any open non-profitable sections of your land into a steady paycheck.

Probably about min wage work but people gonna need to clean the solar panels

Petroleum or fossil fuels are so much more than gas and oil. How do you think they make solar panels? How do you think any of this is made and put together. Solar=electricity. That's it. Now my only quam is that when the solar panel is through its life cycle the recycling or recovery of materials is insanely expensive. If the prices of panels actually come to be fairly reasonable the powering individual homes would become a reality.

Solar panels are really shortsighted because right now there is no conventional means of recycling them efficiently or properly.

We’ve also been doing it with computers for years.

The problem with oil and gas guys is they don’t see themselves as part of the ENERGY sector. The entire industry should WANT to move responsibly towards renewable sources. These guys don’t care that oil will eventually run out, because their concerns begin and end with themselves and their IMMEDIATE descendants. As long as they can collect enormous incomes for labour roles they don’t care about the environmental cost.

I built a few solar farms. The company leases your land for 30 years and then has to develop it back to farm use if they decide not to extend the lease. Farmer is getting 500k per year for use of his land. That's a good amount to sit on your ass all day. The farmers or locals usually get hired to cut the grass/weeds and snow removal and get all the equipment they need to do the job paid for.

“I don’t like solar panels” is so stupid.

Why? They can't be recycled. They are full of toxic materials. Their materials are mined by children and slave labor. They degrade at 2-3% annually and are next to useless after 20 years. The converters cause serious health issues to people that spend any length of time next to them. There was just a big solar farm destroyed by a hailstorm. So instead of 20 years they got less than 2.
