Israel has been decades ahead of everyone else in desalination projects, even before renewable energy sources. So they might be a good source of research information. And there have been water storage solutions for energy in the U.S. In 1970 I was involved in control systems drawings for Duke Power's ...

I would refer readers (sic) to look at Battleborn LIFPO4 batteries (made in USA, they say), which have some built in electronics. I'm not associated with the company in any way, but found them interesting because of their internal electronics, which have several protection features. You'd have to look ...

Even though some of the older non-net meters can't physically run backwards, the solar inverter in the house could still be possibly feeding excess energy back onto the grid. That might cause the meter to slow down and read less, even if it can't run backwards. Just and educated guess. I don't see how ...

I am aware of the shunt method of detecting grid outage, but I like the idea in the article of the inverter trying a frequency + reactive method of detecting grid outage. The article is correct when it says this detection is difficult and complicated. And critical to avoid linemen not getting shocked. ...

I totally understand that need. But I am thinking that technology has advanced such that, especially since there are now many battery backup systems being installed in houses that are still grid-connected, that when the system detects that the grid power has gone down it can simply disconnect the house ...

To add: "Power demand in Texas is set to break the all-time record this week, far ahead of the hottest days of summer, testing of the resilience of the state's power grid after issues earlier this year and last year's days-long blackout during a deep freeze." So we may have rolling brownouts, rolling ...

I'm going to piggy-back onto this thread. I am not using TechCu nor Xcel. I live in Fort Worth, TX. The local grid provider in Texas is Oncor (not an energy company, just grid infrastructure, including meters and metering). Over 6 months ago I signed a contract with Elevation Solar to install solar ...

I agree that solar arrays won't affect how much water gets into the soil (maybe more, because the sun would not be heating up the soil and evaporating it. However, if this was the proposed project in the northeast corner of Texas, near Texarkana, that land is Texas's LAST native tall grass prairie land. ...

Two things: 1. If you are running from a battery backup system during a grid outage, it is CRITICAL to unplug all unused small chargers, because if those are the only things drawing current, that little bit of current causes the inverter to run VERY INEFFICIENTLY and draw down the batteries. 2. I put ...
