Commercial Solar Guy

:) Visiting the fist solar project I will own. Its purpose, along with another 2-3 MWdc worth, will be to support a core company of ~10-14 people. From here, the attacks launch.

Why did they add an end date?

Solar plus batteries might be a fundamental shifter of many things the world over and we just don’t e see it yet. Manufactured and deployed - everywhere - instead of warred, killed over, and shipped. We’re still modeling normal economics with this product. I think that will change. #bullish

That’s a solid month. Interesting chart. Wonder how long we’ll have such data transparency.

I’ll get back to you on the source :)

They also gradually reduced planned output while wind speeds remained high. It makes me think they slowly reduced output as conditions worsened (eg. by feathering blades), which is exactly what's meant to happen.

Man that’s a lot of cash spent… *$405 billion for electricity in the same window last year. *$420 billion for oil, same window last year. *$1,000+ per household/$400+ per person *About $270-300 saved per EV.

That gear connects this system to the grid, eventually. Give you a nickel if you can find the gear!!

‘From less than three dozen in 1949, the number of small hydropower stations in the People’s Republic of China grew to nearly ninety thousand by 1979. By the early 1980s, these stations were distributed across nearly 1,600 of China’s 2,300 counties’ arunabhghosh.scholars.harvard.edu/publications...

Like whoa

Get you a job that pays some bank!!

Shiny metal Friday! The big silver box is a CT cabinet. In the case of our system, it’s a big intersection component - with wires from the building, solar, and utility intermingling. I like it because it big chunky silver stuff.

“History” being, uh, June…

We can.

The 2026 industry average efficiency for Chinese TOPCon solar modules (ie the standard global product) is about 23.2%, my colleague Yali mentions casually while discussing China's tightening of industry standards (that ultimately aren't more than a nudge). Paywall. www.bnef.com/shorts/tn8zl...

‘At end of 2025, small scale solar more capacity than grid…2026 to date - more solar then 24/25 combined’ ‘3 person house needs $4,500 of solar…7X petrol generator cost, but $200/month fuel cost’ ‘grid 2024 tripled tariffs for high-usage households in 2024’ ‘37-36% interest…most purchases cash’

Is ActBlue considered directly donating versus texting? Even AOC have links to ActBlue on her page - so I assume they're cool.

Good idea!

BAD!! That's one of the worst jobs growth years in the last 75 years!

New Idea: All new energy systems that depends on an app/online access to work shold have a "bankruptcy mode" integrated that allows a third party to flash the system and take over so we don't lose resources.

'20.4GWh grid-scale BESS deployed globally in September, up 61%; YTD installs up 43%...China <66%, commissioning >12GWh, Europe >2GWh for the fifth month in a row...largest projects in India and China...average duration 2.9-hours...600MWh non-lithium' www.energy-storage.news/20-4gwh-grid...

Look at that beautiful non polluting truck charging site! Oh my goooosh!

The vote has been cast…it’s not a fair vote everywhere. It’s not a vote for many. The vote itself is only the quiet cumulative action at the tip of decades of motion and fury. Please be conscious as you consider the reality you wish to be part of and create.

Been wondering how much/how long of a hangover effect from China’s 2025 build out, had forgot about the March export tax/‘cheap module’ hangover.

Faster & cheaper? ‘four construction innovations: automated foundation piling, a frameless panel design that uses steel rather than aluminium, press-fit bolt-free module installations, and on-site pre-assembly…could cut direct installation costs by around 22% and reduce installation time by <30%’

Damn right
