Chile and Australia are in the next phase of solar growth ☀️🔋
Battery deployment is now so high that new solar generation doesn't add to the midday peak, but grows in shoulder hours, morning and evening.
50% storage to solar ratio is enough to shave off the entire peak.
Economist: The solar+battery model is working.
California gets 75% of its power from solar midday.
Batteries now kick in for 30% at night.
Battery capacity jumped 32x since 2018.
Imagine if 20 years ago America wasn’t consumed by culture war nonsense and leaned industrial policy into silicon solar and lithium battery manufacturing, technologies we invented.
@returnofaj These are interesting. Would care more about how those metrics have changed over the course of this year instead of year over year. Make it a month by month plot. Then you could see who is trending in particular directions as playoffs approach. I know you don’t make these btw :)
A schedule conflict pop up so someones about to get lucky. Giving away 2 glass seats to tomorrow’s @Avalanche vs LA Kings game. Must like, follow and retweet to be entered in the raffle for a chance to win. Club Lexus access and parking including. Announcing winner, noon tomorrow
