An end run around trump's gutting of clean energy incentives for solar?
New partnership will make solar panels from all US parts, in TX and MI. With Corning, an old-time upstate NY company.

The solar co-op you will found powers 14 neighborhoods in my century.
Yes, it mattered.

What was it Donald Trump said, “Solar doesn’t work if there’s no sun.” 
RenewEconomy · The solar farm that winds down at dusk, charges up for dinner and is still generating at midnightAustralia’s first large scale solar battery hybrid is dodging weak wholesale prices and sending power into the grid in time for dinner, and often past midnight.
Numbers coming out great for my recent home #solar install; the #metrics in the dashboard are wrong though; my average daily power generation was actually 64.99 kWh so far this month, not 26 kWh as shown in the #monitoring app, because it’s not taking into account the days my system was off and I was waiting for the utility approval before I could start making all my own artisinally-crafted #electrons. We use about ~31 kWh daily in this household, so I’ll be needing to do some work to ensure $0 bills all year round, with the utility’s net metering program I’ve got us running on. #solarpunk #punkAF #ArtisinalEnergy #LifeGoals #SolarHomelab
Power systems can be restarted using large-scale, grid-forming batteries storing power from wind and solar sources as the primary restart source.
Batteries with grid-forming inverter technology are better at supporting system restart than traditional black-start generators in many respects
They are capable of energising far larger areas of the network than synchronous generators like gas, coal or hydro

A new #solar panel that concentrates the sun’s light onto smaller areas is here. It extracted about 50 percent more power than previous designs. It’s also cheaper, using less than one-thousandth of the expensive semiconductor materials required by normal panels.

We harvest rain water and now sunlight. #solar #permaculture
Trying to get someone to maintain an existing rooftop PV system is proving to be almost impossible here. Everyone just wants to sell me a new system instead of replacing a single microinverter.

subscriber.politicopro.comPOLITICO Pro: Trump Energy secretary: ‘We’re going to get blamed’ for rising power prices — but they’re Democrats’ faultIn an interview with POLITICO, Chris Wright insisted that the Trump administration’s efforts to stifle development of solar and wind power are not causing costs to spike.
747-Sized #Drone Flies For Three Days On #Solar Power Alone
Aviation startup #SkydwellerAero has successfully flown a drone with a bigger wingspan than a Boeing 747 for nearly three days straight — and then did it again. And it did it fueled by nothing but photons and electrons for the entire time. The company's stated goal is to eventually achieve "perpetual" flight, in which the drone would only have to land once it needs maintenance.

Despite the abrupt shift in federal energy policy, three powerful strands of the green energy revolution meet at one new solar power plant.
CleanTechnica · New US Solar Power Plant features soil and habitat restoration.Silicon Ranch and Meta are bringing a new 100-megawatt solar power plant to South Carolina, along with a land stewardship plan.
Since I had #solar panels installed on my house in 2019, they've generated 79.3 Megawatt-hours of #electricity.
This equates to a reduction of 56.7 tons of #CO2 being released, having planted 951 trees, or charging 6.84 million phones.
They've also reduced my electricity bill by approximately $7.8k over that time. Granted, from a purely selfish monetary perspective, it will take another 12 years or so to recoup the initial outlay, but IMHO the investment in the #environment is worth it. 
#IRS Makes It Harder for #Wind & #Solar Projects to Claim #Tax Breaks
Move comes as Trump issued barrage of new restrictions on #renewableenergy
Trump’s #BigBeautifulBilll, was set to rapidly phase out lucrative tax credits for new wind & solar unless they began construction in the next 12mo. IRS guidance would add further hurdles by tightening longstanding rules for what counts as “beginning of construction,” make it harder for projects to qualify

Das die teuerste Stromquelle den Gesamtpreis bestimmt nennt sich Merit-Order-Prinzip. Dabei setzt das teuerste Kraftwerk, das zur Deckung der Nachfrage benötigt wird, den Preis für alle eingespeisten Strommengen am Markt.
Wird in der Spitze auch nur ein Gaskraftwerk dazu geschaltet, reiben dich die Energieunternehmen die Hände.
Da ist es doch eine super Idee noch mehr von den Dingern zu bauen.

Auf diversen Kanälen wird dieses Bild verbreitet.
Schöne Idee, aber fast kompletter Unsinn. Genauso wie handelsübliche Autos nicht mit Solarzellen alleine fahren können, geht das auch bei Zügen nicht. Noch dazu zeigt das Bild einen Zug, der in Australien nicht existiert.
KI-Slop, Fake News, Verarschung. Aber alle machen mit und teilen es begeistert.
