"It costs just $33/MWh to transform daytime solar into dispatchable solar"

And no, that doesn't yet account for that storied Dunkelflaute. Then again, the typical gas LCOE doesn't account for Putin's whims or other geopolitical vagaries.

🆕 blog! “30 months to 3MWh - some more home battery stats”

Back in August 2023, we installed a Moixa 4.8kWh Solar Battery to pair with our solar panels. For the last year and a half it has chugged away slurping up electrons and sending them back as needed. Its little fan whirrs and the lights on its Ethernet port flicker happily as it does its duty.

I estimate…

Any Nordic solar panel owners here (kindly boost for visibility) --- or others living in similar conditions. Have you ever brushed snow off your panels?

We have a roof angle of 8°; snow doesn't slide off the panels. That means in February we get nothing, even though the sun is already shining pretty bright some days. Though I don't know how much energy there is as the panels are dark.

I've read that the panels are easy to damage so I haven't tried. Looking for experiences.

"The solar panels delivered by a single container ship will generate as much power over their lifetimes as more than 50 ships carrying liquefied natural gas (LNG) or 100 carrying coal, according to recent IEA analysis."

Following 35% growth, solar has passed hydro on US grid

The Supreme Court’s recent decision to strike down President Donald Trump’s global tariffs is shaking up the climate tech trade. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/environment/2026/02/25/climate-change/trump-tariffs-climate-tech/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #environment #climatechange #batteries #energy #renewables #electricvehicles #wind #solar

Every now and then, I check up on https://solar.lowtechmagazine.com/about/the-solar-website/

This is a website that has managed to optimize itself to only contain 0.5mb of data per page (on average). They're running on a battery and solar power, without any mains connections, and maintain an impressive site uptime.

I would highly recommend giving their site a read.

Shout out to @rra as one of the contributors to the site, I can only apologize for not having the time to find Fedi handles for the other awesome contributors.

Join us to celebrate the launch of Holobiont Lab’s Zine “Gritty Goes Solar”!

February 28th 1-3pm | 915 Spring Garden St

We made a zine to help Philadelphians navigate getting solar installed on your house. We compiled our collective knowledge to help guide you through the hurdles of understanding the process and flag scammy salespeople.

Probably the most important insight that you can get from Sonnenwende is that Germany can achieve energy independence with 100% renewables in about 10 years from now using an initial capital investment of 8 billion EUR.

And if it can be done in Germany, it can be done almost everywhere. There are only 8 countries in the world that don't have significant land areas below the latitude where Sonnenwende is taking place.
