Utility attacks on net metering are frivolous.

Let's look at an example.

Lydie's Neighbor's house uses 20kWh per day.

Lydie over produces all of that and then some.

Lydie's kWh arrive at her neighbor's house with almost no line loss, and no use of transmission.

If the utility powered Lydie's neighbor from their power plants, they might need to generate 25kWh, assuming 5kWh is lost in transmission.

But the utility charges Lydie's neighbor full price for Lydie's kWh even though the utility is coming out ahead, and tries to say that Lydie doesn't deserve full net metering.

It's BS and we all know it.

"President Joe Biden celebrates Earth Day by announcing $7 billion in grants for #ResidentialSolar projects that will power nearly a million low-income households.

Residential #solar is difficult to access for lower-income Americans because of its high upfront cost and because less affluent people tend to rent their homes or live in apartment buildings.

Biden's goal: to direct 40% of federal clean energy investment benefits to disadvantaged communities."

There are #solar panels visible on the roof of the house. There is a sticker on the mailbox stating we were part of a local #SolarCoop three years ago. There is a sign that reads "This house is powered by the sun" by the front door.

So why do I get somebody knocking on my door every other week trying to sell me on solar? Is it just me?

#residentialSolar

Looking at the technical and social issues #residentialSolar can cause, and some possible solutions. This interesting article helped me understand why everyone can't go solar right now, and how we need to make #renewableEnergy more equitable.

During our first grid outage our Enphase #residentialSolar system (panels, batteries, 3 phase connection to house wiring) reported issues with microinverters not reporting via the monitoring app. They all came back online when the grid reconnected. Could it be the system throttling production to match use while unable to push excess up to the grid? Have any other #Enphase #solar users had this experience?

Scheduled power outage for utility line work has let me test my #residentialSolar backup plan. The good news is that the transfer from on grid to #offGrid was seamless. The bad news is that all the outlets on one side of the house are a single circuit, and the fuse isn't a high enough amperage to power to portable AC units at full power. Have to see if we can upgrade the fuse.

My electricity provider has told me to expect a 4hr outage on Tuesday. It's going to be 34c with a heat index of 43c, so Hot! Sounds like a good day to test out our #residentialSolar and #batteryBackup system powering two portable AC units as well as the fridge and other essential things.

One of the reasons we went #solar and included a #batterybackup was grid problems. We had a live test this morning when we lost grid power for 5 minutes and didn't notice. Everything worked as planned. #residentialsolar
