A 78kWh domestic battery is insane to me (my battery is 1/20th the size) but they are clearly going after people who would otherwise opt for a backup diesel genset. Anyone have insight into how competitive this battery might be vs diesel? share.google/UV4c1JGdR59U...
78.4 kWh home battery backs power grid, installs in under an hourBase Power raises $1B to scale its Core home battery, built to provide backup power and support the wider electricity grid.share.googleThis, from @akshatrathi.bsky.social, is correct for commercial and industrial PV installations but I think domestic installations are different. Self-consumption, mainly with EVs and heat pumps, can still win compared to negative wholesale prices thanks to the avoidance of taxes and grid fees.
Akshat RathiA few weeks ago, the world crossed a major solar milestone: 3 terawatt installed. Why did no one notice? 0.1 TW to 1 TW: 120 months 1 TW to 2 TW: 29 months 2 TW to 3 TW: 19 months Gift link to the story 🎁🔗 www.bloomberg.com/news/article...
If this had happened 5 years ago it would have been a crisis for the electrical system. Solar once again making things much less bad. ourworldindata.org/data-insight...
Solar overtakes gas to become Hungary's second-largest electricity sourceA decade ago, solar power was almost non-existent in Hungary. It generated just 0.2% of the country’s electricity. Nuclear, coal, and gas dominated the grid.ourworldindata.orgPalma PolyakHungary's new government is tested very early. Paks nuclear plant is about to go offline for the first time in 44 years because the Danube is drying up. That's nearly half the country's electricity. Collapsed supply & gas prices spiking throughout the region. Just brutal. apnews.com/article/hung...
