$9,000 for Solar & Batteries Duke Energy's PowerPair: Powerhouse Deal or Power Struggle

UTILITY FACTOR is important to nuclear electricity generation. UTILITY FACTOR must be important to the other electricity generation, rooftop renewables, and EVs big battery. UTILITY FACTOR for the grid is important. EVs and rooftop PV and Grids can work together fast and cheap. EVs liquid temperature controlled battery management extends the battery by decades. EVs can be a good investment because the battery is 'FREE'. 😮😅😊😊😊😊😊

If half the customers went offgrid, then the costs to the remaining customers would double because the grid is a fixed cost. Electricity Utilities know this. Utilities should partner up with their customers and be their backup if the home battery or EV needs a top-up. The selfparking V2G EVs can connect to the grid anywhere. Nuclear needs high Utility factor, long running output, to be profitable, but then monopolise the grid and offgrid becomes possible in the suburbs. Rooftops are universal and grid connected. Rooftop solar PV is cheaper than windows $/m2 with no Utility paper work. EVs market is ramping up. 100% electric worldwide can be cheaper. Grid disconnect is scary to Utility owners.

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.

I hear what you’re saying, and agree somewhat as i brought up the same point. They do limit the access to your battery, to relieve some of the concern.

It didn't make cents it made dollars 😕 😊😊😊
