Thank you!

Net metering is under attack by the private utility companies. This has already happened in California and resulted in a 70% decrease in solar installations in the state. In California the cost of a new solar system must include a battery bank and accept the fire hazard these create.

Great what's the price? Im guessing I could simply increase the number of ground or roof mounted panels to overcome the difference in efficiency for less than the cost of one of these systems? Im also guessing the excavation, concrete foundation and crane erection cost are prohibitive for most.

Thank you for the presentation. I am not sure if I can put up panels. However, I did have a thought. How about installing just the batteries? If the power company gave me an off peak price break, I could save money. The batteries would also provide power in times of peak demand, brown outs, or loss of service. Better yet, I'll just plug in my EV.

“The supreme court on Monday asked the Biden administration to weigh in on big oil’s request to thwart litigation that could put them on the hook for billions of dollars,” the Guardian reports. The paper continues: “Honolulu is one of dozens of cities and states to sue oil majors for allegedly hiding the dangers of their products from the public. In October, Hawaii’s supreme court ruled that the suit can go to trial. But the defendants petitioned the US supreme court in February to review that decision, arguing the cases should be thrown out because emissions are a federal issue that cannot be tried in state courts. The high court receives thousands of petitions each year, giving each one only a small chance of being reviewed. But in recent weeks, rightwing fossil fuel allies have pushed the justices to take up oil companies’ request, publishing a slew of op-eds and social media advertisements. Some of the groups behind the pressure campaign - which experts say is unprecedented - are connected to far-right supreme court architect Leonard Leo, who co-chairs the ultraconservative legal advocacy group the Federalist Society.” According to Reuters, Honolulu filed the suit in 2020 against oil companies including Exxon Mobil, BP, ConocoPhillips, Shell and Sunoco. The Los Angeles Times adds: “Monday’s brief order asks solicitor general Elizabeth Prelogar to file a brief ‘expressing the views of the United States’ in the two pending appeals, Sunoco vs Honolulu and Shell vs Honolulu.” The Hill also covers the news. Elsewhere, the Financial Times “climate capital” newsletter continues reporting that “California will attempt to use consumer protection laws to seize some of the world’s biggest oil companies’ profits”, as part of a lawsuit that it launched against ExxonMobil, Chevron, Shell, BP and ConocoPhillips last September, accusing them of spreading misinformation and deceiving the public about climate change.

I am grateful you are doing your work. hai

Does Oregon still have a net metering program.?

ally contractors just rip-off and all the customers. they up the price by 30% ...

Nice work Pat! Impressive and beautiful.

Thank you! I hope one day my electrified home can be on a tour.

very helpful video

Thank you for the update. Very helpful. Can you tell us whether Vehicle to Home battery storage backup is a reasonable part of solar storage?

Nice! Thank you!

Nice! Thanks!

Nice! Thanks you!

Nice! Thank you!

Nice! Thank you!

Nice! Thank you!

well done, Harka and Pat!

Nice! Thank you!

Awesome video! Yay Sunlight Solar! They put 27 solar panels on my house and I've been net positive the last 5 years.

Thanks for the great presentation. The notion that a battery system might last 20 years seems very generous to me, especially if taking advantage of net metering, but I'm not an expert on that. Maybe you folks could comment on that in some future presentation?

Couldn't make the live session. Thank you for supplying a recorder for this excellent presentation.

Looking for the video showing the Minotair. Can someone direct me to it?

Thanks Edward, this a great presentation.

This is gold!!! Need more views? Check 𝕡𝐫ｏ𝕄ｏ𝔰𝓶!!!

It was brutal. Thermal solar is dead

very interesting topic! and a great source of info thank you all!

Efficiency of PV panels around 19- 20 percent, solar collectors coud be 80 percent efficient. Place an air to water heat pump in your unconditioned attic and solar collectors on south wall and let your heat pump run only during a day storing all heat in a buffer tank, due to higher ambient temperature during a day COP of that heat pump will be higher and on sunny day just much higher because of those solar collectors. As well I ve heard that some company in Europe in order to increase efficiency of water to water heat pumps use solar collectors to preheat water before it gets into heat pump

This is great. I signed up for the zoom call , but it wouldn't let me in. So its nice to watch on youtube. Thanks

Very well done and beautifiul house... Thanks for sharing...

Salut~ you made nice uploading -brother. 🖖

amigo,good night-Omg,superb ! 🙃

Yay green developers and developments - and accommodating zoning regs!

This is great info --thank you for doing this

SipIph Battery Fe Ph Battery Is BEST

Great webinar.

FYI, I am seeing well built 30kWh LiFePO4 battery banks for $10k.

How about the electric company installing for free solor panels on anyones home that requests it. All they have to do is put systems that overproduce and then they get energy from every home. No more shortages.

So Oregon thinks low income people will have $ 4,000 on hand to get solor for their homes?That is if they qualify for every discount!

Thanks for the great webinar! Kailash Ecovillage has two community electric vehicles: a 2014 Leaf and a 2017 Bolt with 24 and 60 kwh batteries. According to the webinar, this is much higher capacity than a typical home battery system of 10-15 kwh. We'd like to use these vehicles to power our chest freezer, laptops, and smart phones if the electric grid goes down. Our chest freezer has a 1/4 horsepower motor: 184 watts. It seems the usual power available on a vehicle is via the cigarette lighter. For example, one can plug in a DC to AC inverter into the cigarette lighter to get household current, although its wattage is limited to just a few hundred watts. Q: would it be possible to plug in an inverter into the cigarette lighter to get the less than 200 watts of power we would need to power the freezer? It appears technically this might be possible, but I have not tried it. I am wondering why EVs don't come with a moderate wattage electric outlet built in to power small appliances. Seems like that could be a great selling point for them. Being able to plug in your freezer to your EV would be a wonderful amenity for an EV!

Some of its medicine 😉 Hahaha

Amazing Place! I thought you had much thinker walls than just 2x6? Jeez, that is what Code uses! If you can pull it off with these homes then EVERYONE should be building this way. Well done!

Please help me understand why the State of Oregon confiscates the solar energy output of overproducers. If an individual installs a solar system that produces more power than they use in one year the State confiscates that overproduction without any compensation or credit to the individual. This seems anti-solar, anti-environmental and anti-property rights to me. Compensating individual solar producers for their excess solar power would be good for the environment. But our Salem legislators seem to have other priorities when it comes to alternative energy and our environment. I suspect they do this because the power companies have better lobbyists in Salem and both the power companies and our legislators see individual Solar Energy production as a threat to their profits and control. Do you have a better explanation?
