Storing energy with is about to have its moment of truth
Toronto-based Inc. is one of the businesses developing long-duration energy storage that has moved beyond lab scale and is now focusing on building big things. The company makes systems that store energy in the form of compressed air, which can be released to produce electricity for eight hours or longer.
Technology will be used to store wind and energy for use later.

Oh! How could I forget?!

Hopefully, we're getting the panels installed today! It's been delayed and delayed because the weather has been too bad to work on the roof. It's a nice morning, so fingers crossed.

It's just the panels, the electrical work to hook them up will be scheduled once they are all in place (and paid for).

Two things I want from a cloudy day when it comes to my solar panels and various batteries I want them charging - the house batteries get charged, and the EV gets charged. The latter has happened today, the former should be there with an hour or two. This is important during storm season here in Texas. Since the EV is fine for several days, I'll leave it unplugged for a few days so I can prioritize the house batteries with any excess being sold back to the grid.

Ich würde mich gerne ein bisschen mit dem Thema Balkonsolar befassen. Auf was muss ich vor einem Kauf unbedingt achten (In Block auf die Hardware)?

Ab liebsten ist mir ein System, was sich ins Smarthome (Homeassistant) einbinden lässt und sich nicht spontan selbst entzündet.

Auch gerne ohne US- oder China-Cloud.

Had our first full month of #solar export. The electricity bill could be negative. Most of the import is charging the car on cheap rate.

Latest follow-up podcast is out! YouTube: https://youtu.be/m0GfWX5sT4o Audio version: https://share.transistor.fm/s/ce9cce2d Sean and I talk about whether or not the distrust in sustainable tech, like home solar panels, is based on fact or fiction.

Hey, , I’d like to get some solar panels installed on my roof, and I’m intimidated because I know there’s a lot of scammy companies out there. Anyone have any advice, on installers or literally anything else ?

Gonna try to do some inside today while I work.

One of the perks of a) working from home, and b) having a large south-facing window.

Not really ideal optically, but the only alternative is leaving my scope outside mostly unattended.

Note to self:

Do not try to pull more than the rated current from a cheap Chinese Solar Charge controller's USB output.

Even if it's just 60mA...

It's very clear how desperate green tech advocates are to paint the current developments as a win for the climate. But by doing so they only reinforce the status quo.

Solar energy is now being installed faster than any other energy technology in history! 🎉

By 2031, solar is projected to surpass ALL COMBINED forms of energy technology, which is actually amazing, even as a proponent of renewables.

Solar installation is 10-fold higher than 10 years ago and is doubling every 3 years.

Truly wonderful news! Some nice charts below to show the growth and comparative build out too.

In 2023, PV and wind comprised about 80% of global generation capacity additions (99% in Australia). Compelling market-based evidence solar PV and are the best options for new generation capacity https://buff.ly/3JDUdMH

Last Friday, I set out to do something fun: capture the rotation of the sun! The challenge with this is that the sun rotates very slowly - roughly one rotation every 27 days. I captured images every 5 minutes from about 8AM to 5PM and then stuck them all together in a time lapse.

More details on my blog (I have a blog now!): https://briangweberphotography.wordpress.com/2024/04/27/creating-a-solar-time-lapse/
Here's the result: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Vu4NvicdiHs

Now that the longer days are here, solar production at the house has gone up a lot, compared to winter, even with one panel down, due to a broken microinverter. I’m glad Enphase and our local solar installer are providing good service and warranty repair. Thanks, Highpoint Solar.

Did you know that putting floating solar on only 10% of the surface of all the reservoirs that humans have built could provide 110% of the electricity that we now are producing? Well, now you do.

PV-Module sind montiert und liefern auch schon Strom. Die Anlage wird Ende nächster Woche angeschlossen.
