EROI discussions are as a rule of thumb, very messy. Since it's an hot topic (it is many times used as argument against solar deployments) I find very useful this guy here https://t.co/QQQLdVTp64 which comes with this nice scaling factors for solar EROI
@alexandrosM Though PV + battery electric has edge over corn ethanol, net energy analysis (+ other life cycle considerations) also needed on that side of ledger. Despite this being controversial area, don't fall for hand wavy dismissals: https://t.co/J0hHr
@flexibledragnet @simonahac @AnthonyBriggs @jasonhickel Well, they at least use EPBT as marketing then... I don't see much of a difference between EPBT and EROI... https://t.co/PVUP5JeC0s https://t.co/tQwIiZkY4n
@JuttaPaulusRLP @transenv @Fraunhofer Well Fraunhofer says "even lower" because they neglect many factors. They take the EPBT of PV without considering the needed storage. This meta-analysis https://t.co/tg1N1jy8eV shows that doing that can lead to factors
