This is total bs

funny how you included video from SolarCity.... the biggest scam Musk performed. lol

Omfg here we go with the fake news again from the democrats. Can any reasonable person really think all solar farms will just disappear? Trump is going to increase energy production from all sources. He will get more oil drilled and more power plants which includes more SOLAR AND WIND FARMS, not just oil and nuclear. (wait nuclear is clean energy right?)

It hard to call it clean energy when it takes fossil fuel to build it all 😂 mind as say we're off setting it somewhere else

Whats orangeman going to do ? Personally strip off the solar panels from my roof.? Don't think so.

Improve the audio quality.

Time to invest in technologies that work. Like cars that run on water. Like re-use nuclear waste, and make batteries that last forever. There are so many other ways to bring new ideas that don’t pollute, and don’t interrupt lifestyles! We need farmers, food, transportation. We need oil , gasoline, diesel for now Don’t destroy our country. MAKE IT BETTER !

of course he will

"Clean energy"... You're really into the cult, huh? There's massive natural damage when windmill parks and solar parks are placed anywhere. Not only are they disturbing the wildlife, they're also toxic and not easily recycled. Look up "burried windmills"

Trump energy independent ❤

I have a 5.4 kw system with 5kw inverter. My max output is clipped at 5.10 kw am I loosing the other 0.30 kw

Im regretting getting solar. Price per kw has gone up from using good old dirty arse coal and the rebates have gone from 60cents per kw down to 5

solar panels are a fuckin scam, dont fall for it yall be in debt for life and the shit wont even work

A few more of lower performing panels is more shading 😎 😀

Add more panels later to shade more roof area. 😊😊😊😊

Shading hot roofs feature is 100% effective for decades. 😊😊😊😊

The electric companies still have some dirty tricks up their sleeves. I got my system after NEM 2.0 which is called SPB (Solar Power Billing) or NEM 3.0. I should come out ahead because I do have a battery, but I also live in the Mojave Desert where we get 300+ days of sunshine a year, but I also work nights when the battery takes over and would likely never need to pull from the grid. But let me tell you what the electric company did. For years I have been on TOU Prime (time of use) when peak hours are 4-9pm at .34 a kw/h except on weekends. This has always worked out well since I work nights and am able to keep my use during Super Off Peak. After I went solar they switched me to TOU-D where peak rates are .50 a kw/h seven days a week. This shouldn't hurt me since I work nights but someone with a family could get screwed if they use more than their battery can supply and end up pulling from the grid. If they are generating power during Super off-peak they will never recover that loss. That doesn't seem fair.

I'm hoping to use the battery during the high cost period of (Time Of Use) between 5PM and 9PM of .568/kwh. Price will be .372/kwh between 9PM and 9AM, then .1886/kwh. Currently electric rate is flat 43.7/kwh. The Power Wall has to help ofset the TOU change in Feb 2025

So, what happens with the users? how does that affect the users?

Electricity rates were 24/7 low and fixed. Grid cashflow was 24/7 Then when the sunshines and cashflow slowed, with rooftop PV installations Grid cashflow became more 18/7, and crashing Electricity rates increased. To maintain the cashflow. More slowing and more electric appliances with more rooftop PV. And BVs. When PV was low, the grid was overloaded. Grid is too expensive to expand, $TRILLIONS. When BVs are V2G with oversized battery storage and parked 23hrs every day then Offgrid 24/7 will mean grid cashflow will crash 24/7. I suggest the grid owners buy original customers, the building and home owners, feedin and sell to new heavy industrial customers 😀, new grid customers as the original customers basically unload the grid, unload their demand. Cashflow will be renewed with the new customers heavier demand. Connection to the original, now 'offgrid customers' can be maintained as their backup for when the BV is driving after the sun goes down. 😀 happy days. Grid owners happy, customers happy, millions of rooftops shaded on hot days. Happy 😊 Existing rooftop owners will need a few more panels and a new Solar Company. Their panels will have been cheaper because SunPower would have been trying to populate the market and failed to manage cashflow. Solar PV panels shade hot rooftops and lower air-conditioning demand and no maintenance, Hahaha. 😮😊

Thanks for the lucid explanation, R

My city joined the 'Clean Energy Alliance' (a CCA) a couple years ago and I was opted-in by default. It hasn't affected my bill noticeably, so I never bothered to research what it actually was (I am lazy). Thanks for the concise overview! I checked out CEA's website and the thing I'm skeptical about is the option to "opt-up" to 100% renewable energy. I'm no electrical engineer, but from what I understand of the grid, it's not as though SDGE (who delivers my power) has the ability to specifically route "greener" electrons to my apartment...right? So what would I actually be buying? I don't feel like they're being very transparent in this offering, and I'm sure as heck not going to study the arcane rate table to figure out what it would cost me ("Honey, are we on EV-TOU-6 or DR-SES-Grandfathered?") LOL

The cars they are working together on won’t be available until 2027-2030.

Hahahahahahahahahaha

1:16 the transmission lines cost $5 to $6million per km in Australia. The grid costs $1million to $6million per km and we have 1million km. The grid has fixed costs and must have minimum cashflows. When the sun shines the cashflow crashes. Grid electricity $kWh must increase. This is a commercial death spiral vulnerability. $100BILLIONs cashflows per year. Political pressure and donations. Opposition political parties are proposing to build nuclear electricity generators with taxpayers money to maintain cashflows IN THE GRID ITSELF. Offgrid would become illegal in Australia, maybe ????

You provided Information worth $$$$$ for free with a practical approach. Thx!

You don’t think it’s coming back?

Disappointed to see that there’s no option to DC couple the PV array & battery.

Good banned toffu car soft metal chassis, EV BYD killer car is deadly disaster.

Can you charge your ecoflow with exsting IQ8 microinverters when grid is down? How do you connect them?

please share your calculations.

Good effort, great video, amazing channel! Keep it up man!

》》》I like your work. Home owners are paid because you are UNLOADING the grid and supplying dirt cheap electricity to the grid. 3cents and 6cents kWh to the grid is a bonus to the grid owners. They sell it for 30cents to 60cents kWh. With you UNLOADING the grid they do not have to build more grid capacity. Grids are incredibly expensive and have taken decades to build. More EVs or BVs will be more electricity demand. More heat pumps will be more electricity demand. For Air-conditioning and hotwater and cooking. So long as the grid needs production from excess demand home owner's will protect the grid from expensive increased capacity construction. BUT with selfplug-in V2G EVs or BVs parked 23hrs every day and all night then the grid customers will abandon grid electricity supply. The $1,000BILLIONS grid infrastructure needs $100sBILLIONS cashflow. Offgrid in the suburbs terrifies the grid owners, particularly if the sun is shining and the home batteries are full, and EV or BV batteries are full. But until then UNLOADING the grid as clean electricity demand rises, will protect grid owners from short term over building the grid capacity. 😮 😊😊😊😊

A cooperation sticking their fingers into my batteries when THEY need it is bullshit. No go. I need MY power when the grid is down and they can take my stored energy? Aw hell naw.

How much energy does it cost to have a roof rack?

Good fair video. I'm all in on the Aptera being an investor and will get one of the first 2000 units off the floor. I have a house and am looking forward to just parking it in my driveway to get a charge and if I want to fully charge it more I can just plug it into a regular outlet.

Adding two PW3s to my existing Enphase PV system. After the tax credit and utility CASH REBATE I can get them for about $4K less than what I was quoted for a 22 kWh Generac generator. My installer confirmed it is LFP and has no restrictions on the number of CYCLES. A no-brainer.

Most people are slow to realise that most vehicles are parked 23 hours every day and all night. That is why most trade in vehicles have an average of 10,000 miles per year. 9,000 hours in a year. 27 miles a day. Parked 23hrs every day. BV oversized battery and 15% of an average roof with solar PV panels can disconnect the grid supply, and costs, every sunny day and the following nights. If millions of Battery Vehicles owners do the same then millions of customers cash flows to the grid owners stops for hundreds of sunny days every year. This is also a big economic problem. $billions every year. Sunny days and oversized electric vehicle battery and a small part of the roof are the grid owners BIGGEST problem 🙄 Grid utilization factor crashes BV, battery vehicles utilization factor goes to maximum. Battery materials technology and costs and life extending management are still rapidly improving. Solar PV panels technology is rapidly improving and costs are falling. Note. BV battery is 'oversized' for the daily drive but perfect every night. Grid electricity will get more expensive. So early adopters will get more savings over time.

I already have an Enphase IQ system installed in my home (IQ8A, Combiner, 10T batteries, etc). So if I wanted to switch to Delta Pros (which I have a couple) how would I be able to do that? Would the 10T just sit there useless?

Rooftop PV and a BV (battery OVERSIZED for lonest drive) but parked 23hrs every day. Dirt cheap electricity This is the nightmare of grid owners and grid electricity generation companies. Cashflow death. 😮😮😮 20million Californians electricity and gas and petroleum bills add upto $$$TRILLIONS every year. Every car park space with a $60 wall outlet, trickle currents all day long, ezi pezi. 20million BV with OVERSIZED battery parked, on the grid or the building rooftop building grid. Huge shopping centres. And car parks. 23hrs every day.

Chinese solar panels have no import costs in Australia. Chinese inverters have no import costs. Australia subsidises rooftop solar PV installations. Australia is sunniest continent on the planet so rooftop does not have to be as big as colder latitudes. Australia energy use is 30% less the USA energy use. USA has 50% tariff on Chinese solar panel imports. USA paperwork is difficult and expensive. Just my comments on our differences. The USA market is big enough for home manufacturing and marketing. Robotic latest may make huge economic sense. 2,000 man hour per year. Factory floor space could be available 10,000 hours a year for a robotic plant. 5 times more production per m2. 😊

I live near Sacramento I have a 15 yo system so I am grandfathered in on a M1 PGE rate. We have 25 panel 4.6 Kw roof mount system now. We paid $3k last year true up. we gen abt 62% of our needs. I want to add to our system So I bought 10 365 watt panels and 10 IQ8+ enphase inverters for a solar tracker ground mount set up. Now I'm hearing that PGE will only allow 10% more panels to existing system. So what does that mean if I have 4.6 kw I can only add another 460 watts? If I add more does that mean PGE can take away M1 where PGE buys back at 60 cents retail and put me on M2 that buys back at gen rate 20 cents or even worse M3 which is 6 cents. I heard April 2024 there is a deal where if you charge batteries and don't over gen you can stay on M1. I need to find out more. But power wall 5p is currently $3650 and combiner controller is $650 so $8k 2 5Ps ROI is 5-7 years. California needs to go small scale nuclear and forget this solar rubbish.

What about solar panel companies committing fraud and ripping off their clients. Please report them on FTC complaint website.

I know of Coachella Music Festival and Solar Impulse Flights

Several days? Lol nope 😂, not even close unless you're only charging your phone and things like that.

Bifacial panels angled towards the mid day sun also receive reflected sunlight from the rear panels. Boosting output from reflected light and keeping the panels cooler, which also boosts output. Panel access is simpler as there is walking space and elevated rear of panels. A few more panels actually would be cheaper than tilt framing and bifacial panels. Follow your own logic, even experts get trapped in their old ideas.

If you pay the lease off for the buyer then what's the big deal

tesla also requires internet for it to work.

6.6kw rooftop solar PV for $3,500AUD to $5,000AUD (= $3,300USD). In Australia. Tesla $30,000USD. with the FREE big battery. Hahaha 👍, true. Rooftop is dirt cheap. Petroleum savings $3,000 per year ?? 😊😊😊 Now get those smart MIT people getting the V2G trading electricity. 😊 Now more industrial users will have supply. I have supervised 2 substations construction in new big buildings. Grid capacity held up electric Supply and held up the building construction start. The grid is fragile and will suffer blackouts if overloaded. Fragile because it is extremely expensive to build or upgrade or expand capacity. Get millions of small customers 'off the grid,' and so UNLOAD the grid for industrial customers. More jobs in new commercial premises and factories. 😊😊😊

Grid electricity has limits. Grids can make dirt cheap electricity very expensive. Protect the grid and build more supply to industrial users by getting the little customers off the grid. Better still get the millions and millions and millions of little customers supplying electricity to the grid. A dirt cheap way to build a bigger electric world. Grids are $millions per km. The BIG DIG in Boston shows you how expensive it is to build city infrastructure. Expanding energised distribution grid capacity in busy occupied streets without blackouts is incredibly expensive. 😮😮😮 Rooftop solar PV is dirt cheap if you remove the paperwork and throw in a little government support. More selfplug-in V2G EVs big batteries on the grid can also stabilise and protect the grid. 🚗 🚘 🚔 😊😊😊 Grid owners should be hammering with government to get its policy proactive. 😊😊😊 Generation owners can be big battery owners. They are in the middle of the grid. 😮😊😊😊😊😊
