As for any unpleasantness around here, I'd not take any of it from most any source too seriously and certainly not personally. Besides, unpleasantness is in the eye of the beholder. Sometimes folks who exhibit snowflake behavior confuse what they consider unpleasantness with reality.
I was the one who characterized this place as the forum of few(er) illusions. I do believe, even though this is not a professional forum, that there is a higher level of technical skill here when it comes to renewable and alternate energy than some other places. If what some (and perhaps you) view as abrasive reality comes as the price of safer, better and more complete information, well, call that the price of admission. Some posters here can get $250/hr. as consultants for what they supply for free around here. Besides, no one's feet are nailed to the floor here, including those seeking advice they may not like.
As for what SK may offer in terms of technical advice, I'd suggest that until you find an error in it, you ignore it at your peril. You can also Ignore his style as well if it is not to your liking.
As you learn more of solar energy applications, you will most likely become more aware of its limitations as well as its potential. You may also come to appreciate what others now know that you so far may not know.
Take what you want of the above. Scrap the rest.
