There are two powerful forces at work in the Global #EnergyTransformation; 1/ The rapid migration from the #BaseloadParadigm to the “#BatteriesAreTheGrid de-facto architecture and 2/ Consumer #EnergyIndependence via #RooftopSolar (and local #BESS) - #CommunitySolar solutions. Both forces are #virtuous and have changed #EnergyModels forever. @RenewEconomyRSSFeed

Today our rooftop solar generated ~75% of our power. I bet we would have been >100% had we not charged Jillian’s car and not washed (and dried) multiple comforters. None of this is a problem, just excited commentary. So much fun.

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!

Our solar panels are generating 300 W of juice despite it being morning, still pretty dark, and surprisingly foggy. Looking forward to our first full day of these guys with the naked sun. Maybe this weekend? Maybe?

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!
