@SolarPowerWorld BC Hydro, the fifth largest electric utility in North America with over 4 million customers, is not allowing the current line of SMA Inverters to be connected to their grid.
Is there a serious safety issue with SMA Inverters?

"British Columbia is quickly running out of hydroelectric power and needs affordable, dependable energy, but municipalities now banning renewable natural gas and natural gas are only making things worse—and more expensive." A commentary: https://t.co/f3NcY2YRxd

Commercial customers who received a solar energy system with no upfront costs and are purchasing the electricity from our subsidiary @SolShareEnergy will only see only a 1.15% increase.

[VREC Solar @VanRenew]

Today new BC Hydro rates came into effect. It is an average net increase of 2.3% customers without solar energy. Of course, customers who have purchased a solar energy system will see no increase for the electricity their system produces.

VREC has had a policy of avoiding brands that are associated with forced labour. So we are not affected by Canada’s Border Services crackdown on solar module containers. CBSA provides insight to pvbuzz https://t.co/r91kMpxZCu

Good reasons to get your solar from a local employee owned installer with no commissioned sales people. And PPAs and leases through community ownership.

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

Rooftop solar is the future, but it's also a scam. It didn't have to be, but America decided that the best way to roll out distributed, resilient, clean and renewable energy was to let Wall Street run the show.

@maggiemcgeek @SethDKlein @Dave_Eby @VancouverSun There is also a new call for power for utility scale wind and solar. Also potential incentives for roof top solar that have not been announced yet.

[VREC Solar @VanRenew]

@maggiemcgeek @SethDKlein @Dave_Eby @VancouverSun There are details in the BC Hydro announcement. Part of it is for an upgrade of transmission between PG and Terrace which would clearly benefit LNG. But there is also spending on distribution system upgrades that is geared more for electrification of transportation and heating.

@CAHiggins On a cold clear winter day like yesterday it would be about 2.3 MWh

[VREC Solar @VanRenew]

The western electrical grid is straining with the current record cold temperatures. Thankfully the cold, clear weather is ideal for solar energy (photovoltaic) production. Here in Vancouver the last 3 days of cold weather yielded the highest production of the month.

[VREC Solar @VanRenew]

@CAHiggins The average home we have worked with would produce 8,000 kWh / year (although that is going up with more net-zero certified homes). With 150 per year that would be 1,200 MWh per year.
