Renewable energy sources like solar and wind produced more electricity during the first half of the year than any other energy resource, including coal. To bullet another massive accomplishment in the clean energy transition, of the cumulative demand for new power worldwide, renewables met 100% of it.

Neoen now operates 3.1 GWh of battery storage in Western Australia — Collie alone holds 2.24 GWh, one of the largest in the Southern Hemisphere. 🇦🇺⚡️Coal built WA’s past, but solar + storage will define its future. The sun’s winning, quietly but decisively. ☀️🔋 #EnergyTransition #BESS #Solar #Lithium

@pluralistic While my experience pales in the scale to your (as usual, amazing) article, I experienced #solar #enshittification firsthand:

My installer bolted a third party #Sunpower charging monitor to my house, which worked great to see what my hourly/daily/yearly output was until Sunpower went bankrupt and was bought out by Enphase, who, you guessed it, wants me to pay a subscription fee to see the same monitoring data. Fuck that.

Fortunately, (#Reddit to the rescue): The data from the microinverters goes through my router, and someone found a hack:

https://www.reddit.com/r/SunPower/comments/12w8rqs/sunpower_monitoring_not_accurate_compared_to_meter/

All I need to do is implement the hack and I get my data back, then reconfigure the router to cut off Enphase! Its like #UnauthorizedBread but for solar.
