I drive by large California solar plants in the deserts and just get pissed off for the wildlife habitat they have scraped clean. I know good and well that rooftop solar on every roof in California is the better answer.
But this article does make me feel somewhat better that the land is not...

I'm fighting a very anti-DG rate case in NM. The local thugs are attempting to increase the fee for solar PV to $0.041/kWh produced. So if I were to charge my car perfectly... taking ~40kWh from the roof and directly into my car... NEVER using the grid... I would owe $1.64 for using MY solar...
Electric cars emit 50% less greenhouse gas than diesel, study finds
A Belgian University did a full life cycle analysis of EVs vs diesel cars and found on average 50% less greenhouse gas than diesel cars. In Sweden it's 85% less and about half for most of Europe.

Yesterday too - I find it quite remarkable, even though it's a peak figure. Wind energy usually doesn't regularly contribute such significant amounts [and doesn't come close to Texas' roughly 21GW of installed capacity]. See...
Funding for solar project in Queensland - PACE
This is really interesting
About 43 MW wind
15 MW PV
2 MW battery (capacity not reported.)
All for 126 Million USD
Wind capacity is usually about 50 - 100% greater than PV.
This is actually a pilot of sorts, that if successful will lead to a...
Now that I'm getting a rooftop solar install, it has occurred to me that I don't know how solar installs are rated. A lot of times, the panels are rated at higher capacity than the inverters. So is the entire system rating based on the panels or the inverters?
For example, my system will have...

Can someone explain to me why RSWW is so difficult to activate on my EAP? While you're at it. What's the hold up on reading speed limit signs? Seems like pretty old tech to me.
I found a lot of inverters that can be connected to a battery but are not grid tied.
I also found a lot of inverters that are grid tied but fed by solar panels.
I'm looking for an inverter that is fed by a battery but also connects to the grid.
Any suggestions are appreciated.
I am working on a system to incorporate a battery pack from a Tesla Model S into a Solar system for the home. This uses the entire pack from salvage as is.
