  1. Interestingly, we don't have to pay DSIM fee on own power we generate. Which is common sense, but I'd expect them to find a way... // It's a fee that allows utilities to recover costs associated with energy efficiency programs.

    We also don't have to pay the ridiculous "2021 Winter Storm Fee" they get away with charging us on a per kWh basis. Really glad to see that one gone.

    Though, it's not lost on me that by skipping that fee, it'll fall on our non-solar neighbors.

  2. I finally installed our new EV charging station. Pretty cool, you can control how many amps you want.

    We are at peak solar production right now. With a minor current adjustment we’re charging @Jillianmarisa’s car on pure sunshine, carrying the home’s base load, and still exporting ~500 watts to the grid. Too dang cool! Weeeeeee!

  7. It was supposed to be sunny today. It is thus far, not. However the still 100% cloud coverage is the thinnest it has been all week, except for a few very brief Sol Peekaboos yesterday.

    We’re on track for our best solar production day ever. Yay!

  8. Sooooo. A nice IBEW fella came, knocked on the door said we’d have a small blip in power while he confirmed the install AND added the extra meter. Today we formally add solar to the list of things we harvest here at #MacJohnsonFarm, phase 3.

    Exporting power even with it being super cloudy out. Weeee!

  9. Australians to get at least three hours a day of free solar power - even if they don’t have solar panels
    theguardian.com/australia-news

    Good to see the ALP making a step in the right direction to tackle Australia's cost of living crisis.
    It's only fair that the benefits of free electricity from residential rooftop solar are shared with all consumers.

    Next:
    - Investigate price-gouging for "network fees" and "poles & wires" charges by electricity wholesalers.
    - Make electricity companies pay households a fair price for putting electricity they generated with their own rooftop solar into the grid. Currently, electricity companies take it for free or pay households a miserly feed-in rate. Some other countries have regulations to make power companies pay households equal rates for "give and take".

  10. "Greenpeace is also advocating for household solar projects to be given priority over large scale commercial projects. 'Just because energy production is renewable, it’s not necessarily sustainable', Greenpeace lead climate campaigner Christine Rose says. 'The adverse environmental and social impacts of the centralised ‘Think Big’ generation model can be addressed by rooftop solar and battery storage'.”

  14. Want to help preserve #RooftopSolar for renters, farms, and schools in #California ?

    @susankayequinn has the link to where you can make a comment to #CPUC, the California Public Utilities Commission.

    Pass it on.

  15. "New California rules would crush rooftop solar for renters"

    "The policy changes set forth in this month’s proposed decision from the #California Public Utilities Commission would essentially eliminate financial incentives for property owners to install #RooftopSolar in shared settings, such as #schools, #farms or #multifamily dwellings."
