Fast walking is about 90% of the benefits of running with 10% the injury potential (casual assessment)

And it should, it’s fairly toxic. Fortunately EV’s primarily and almost exclusively use regen.

I apologize for my previous tone, but I vehemently disagree with most if not all of your premises so good luck to you. Not a good look to cherry pick and exaggerate all the negative possible outcomes.

If you aren’t lying when you say you like solar, please stop spreading disinformation. It comes across like a petro-shill. It would be great if you could channel some of that energy into positive progressive effect. We are facing a mostly unimaginable crisis.

And yes, ‘I drive for free’ is working out pretty great. The solar I put on has an instant 2-300% ROI because it increases the value of the house by 4.1% (ref: zillow). 30% IRA ITC, SRECS, all help, too. Yes I paid cash for it, and that is very privileged, admittedly. And agreed, leasing is never a good option. Financing if you can’t afford paying up front is an ok option. I also DIY’d my install so it was rather low cost up front. There are options out there.

Residential panel efficiency is now on par with commercial installations. Degradation is measured in decades. Warranty for materials and production is around 25 years.

Companies going out of business is not that big a deal. It’s easy to pick up an existing installation and maintain it.

Best to all of us, we are in this together.

A big danger is when the grid goes down and you start feeding back into the grid and create a hazard.

A hybrid inverter charged with solar is probably the way to go.

Bullshit. Residential solar is point sourced and maintained with distributed resources. It powers the house it sits on.

It powers my EV directly with solar. I drive for free. How awesome is that.

Gavin appoints the board. Board is corrupt. You do that math.

Meanwhile Gavin has big political aspirations so doesn’t want to pick a fight with the utilities.

Also meanwhile, the world burns.

The R’s support the measure because it makes electing the Orange Julias more palatable to wish wash

The CPUC board, appointed by governer Newsom, gets to set the rules.

The utilities including PGE and So Cal Edison apparently own said governer.

31.5 gallons in a barrel so your math shows 15Mbbl saved

Article says 1.8Mbbl

I’m missing the discrepancy

To be fair, it has a brain the size of a planet so it thinks we are asking it rather dumb questions

Good one. And Lenovo battery management utility allows setting the state of charge level. Set it for 50% and the battery will last mostly forever.

Interesting idea with the paint - you mean paint the back side?

Bifacials pick up extra reflected light from the ground or water, etc., so paint will negate that.

And they are semi-translucent and let through some nice ambient light.

If you get the construction right - rafters spaced to panel width - then you’re cooking with induction. (as the saying goes I just made up)

Consider using bifacials to collect ground reflected solar, too.

You can connect that 5v panel directly to the charge input on the power bank - they are both 5v. There is a charge controller built into the bank already.

If the bank has pass-through charging that can accept a charge at one end while delivering power out the other, you are all set.

But some power banks don’t allow that.

FUCKYOU PIGEON!!

Does that include the Ultra?

Was this in the last 4 years? Because supply chains and labor are still in recovery everywhere.
