Wir basteln fleißig an der Hardware für #Hackathon und netzdienliche Speicher Projekt. Mit dieser Platte aus (digitalem) #Zähler, #Shelly, Steckdose, Einspeisesteckdosen, #Pi, Router können wir dann zusammen mit #Solar Speicher Haushalte simulieren.

Jetzt wird es ernst ⚒️. Die Skizze für die Terrassenüberdachung ist fertig 📐. Werde die noch mit einem Bekannten durchgehen, welcher vom Fach ist. Ich möchte unbedingt die Paneele in das Dach integrieren ☀️.

Die Materialien, Holz für Balken und Edelstahl oder Aluminium für das Gestell, sind nicht gerade günstig, dafür verfügbar - so der Status.

Ich werde hier berichten 👍.

That’s a lot of solar panels for one small convenience store!

Another new #solar #energy generation record yesterday in PJM - 10,100 MW.

After tax incentives, my 11kw offgrid #solar install total cost comes to $0.84 per watt. The average cost for residential solar installation in the US is $2.56 per watt. I seem to have achieved around the same cost as utility scale solar.

Happy that my power cost is 1/3rd of average. For the next 25+ years or until PV installation prices catch up...

(Still have to put in some more unpaid labor to complete the install..)

You make long term plans. Then an election happens, and you find yourself making changes to those plans - basically turning them into short term plans. My latest #solar addition is in the works.

*Red* states moving on #cleanenergy

Texas - yes, Texas! - is leading on #solar, #wind, and storage. 🤠

Remember: TX has internal energy problems. Big recent blackouts, no connection to adj states. Renewable growth is response to that.

Makes clean energy bipartisan.
TX is one of the biggest, wealthiest red states.

Also, Houston has city-level climate plan. 🌳

Només el 5% de les teulades residencials compten amb instal·lacions de generació distribuïda, enfora del 20% de països com Alemanya o Països Baixos.

A més, menys de l’1% de les instal·lacions són col·lectives.

Cal revisar el model actual❗

Local generation, storage & management of solar power is the way to go. State governments & local councils could be leading this.

Until then - why not use a wholesale provider like #Amber? Customers pay a monthly connection fee plus a subscription fee of $19, then buy & sell power at market rates. Households with solar systems have their output curtailed when feed in tariffs are negative (as happens often), export solar power when prices are positive, & if they choose to, export from battery when prices are high. You can allow the system to automate the process or you can control it yourself. This is cost effective for households that have a battery, although those with panels only may see no financial benefit compared to standard retail plans (it’s very difficult to compare relative costs of a curtailed system with those from the same system operating without curtailment, so wholesale plans don’t appear on cost comparison sites). For households with no solar, if you’re able to shift most of your usage to times when there’s lots of solar in the grid, costs are Way Way Cheaper. We did this before we had solar installed & the difference was Huge. If you need to cook dinner every evening or like to heat your house a lot, savings are not so much.

Whatever our situation, buying electricity #wholesale makes it immediately easy to see where our power is coming from & to make informed choices. It allow allows us to support the grid, & our neighbours.

#Subsidies to support households installing #batteries to back up new or existing systems, along with investment in local area generation & storage, would lower power costs for everyone while protecting the grid.

Why are we not doing this? Anyone?

Whose interests are served by keeping debate focused elsewhere?

Solar households in virtual power plants a part of 'Australia's electricity future'

Households are handing over control of their solar…

The typical UK household uses around 2,700kWh of electricity per year. That's less than 8kWh per day. Our bog-standard #solar panels generated more than that today. Which means our home battery is full and we're not buying any electricity tonight. (Source for stat www.ofgem.gov.uk/information-...)

Yes I am rushing to try to get an expansion done to my #solar setup. Is it because I fear that future tariffs and tax breaks will drive up prices? Absolutely. How do I know this new administration is willing to do anything anti #green? Well, here is just one example: congress.gov/bill/119th-congre

Yes, there are people talking a big game about building new methane fueled power plants in the USA, but don't give that much credence.

From what I understand, the LCOE for kwh from a new gas plant has gone up about 100% just since 2022.

#Wind #Solar and #Batteries have won the competition!
