The strategy that will accomplish the most in the least time is that strategy that is available now at the lowest cost. The technological fantasizing you are engaging in Timothy accomplishes nothing.

Dennis: You are absolutely correct and this is a long-standing sore point for me with the non profit organizations I support. I completely understand the need to maintain nonpartisan policy positions, but there is really only one party destroying the renewable energy progress of the past couple decades ...

I think Tim's larger point is that solar and storage technology is democratizing energy. While off-grid living is not for you Bill, many people are in circumstances where it makes good financial sense and the constantly evolving solar and battery technology facilitates that. It also gives grid-tied installations ...

Keep trying to convince yourself that a lying convicted felon and the leader of the world's largest private disinformation purveyor are a good thing for solar. I am just going to go ahead and do everything to get my solar upgrades and decarbonization completed as fast as I can while I still can and none ...

grid and battery needs

Thomas and David: You both make excellent points about the grid and energy needs for electrification. One thing to keep in mind is that these two needs are not necessarily additive, but to a very significant extent, congruent. This is because while EVs do represent a significant new load for the grid, ...

RE: What are some technologies that you would like to see covered more in Solar Today?

Yes, this is all quite true. The problem with realizing all the possible savings is energy codes. Here in Tennessee, as in most states, the state sets a minimum energy code and local authorities can require higher energy efficiency levels. Unfortunately, Tennessee is considering a law that will set the ...

Kat: I am interested in learning more about technologies that facilitate integration of solar and wind onto utility grids. Many utilities claim that non-inertial generation technologies such as solar make grids unstable, but I know there are technological solutions to this. However, there are many ...

Roya: Your first consideration is the energy efficiency of the building. I have lived in a PV powered off-grid house for 26 years that I built to be very efficient with the technology available at the time. Building technology is better today. Despite the construction techniques I would do differently ...
