You couldn't be bothered to look up basic info about solar yet you're asking me to present you with a study. Don't pretend like you actually want to research these things when you clearly can't be bothered to do a google search about solar panel maintenance.
And again, it's along an existing roadway where they would already know exactly what needed maintenance. You're acting like these panels would be inaccessible and require insane manpower to get to.
I'll ask you again, do you really thing maintaining a gigantic hydro or coal power plant would be cheaper?
I don't think this is about information for you, I think it's a "gReEn EnUrGy bAd" mindset that you have, which is fine. From your reply, your opinion is "well if I don't have to pay for it I don't give a shit".
Recently, the Maine Public Utilities Commission announced that the Standard Offer price for electricity supply will be going up by 49% or almost $32 a month for our average residential customer in 2023.
So you're cool with the power companies charging you 50% more at the drop of a hat, but you don't want to invest in something that would reduce dependence on those companies and give you cheaper rates? Got it.

The federal government should invest in green energy but our state shouldn't administer a program based on a half-baked Reddit post. Maybe hire an expert or put out an RFP to see what types of ideas people who work in the industry have.
