Cost of buying solar directly from china ( no tariffs) - 1 dollar &#x2F; watt.<p>An average person can live on 2kWh a day.<p>A 100 w solar panel outputs 470 Wh in bloody england.<p>500 dollars of installed solar.<p>1kWh of lead acid battery is 150 dollars.<p>You can go completely solar for the next 30 years for 1500 dollars and adopting a DC electricity lifestyle.<p>Tldr : trade protectionism is stupid, especially when some other country&#x27;s taxpayers are paying for it.
