I wish the country of California well.

I won’t be buying solar panels because our roof is done in Spanish tiles and they can’t put the panels over them but that’s very interesting to know about the lease and the batteries.

And put more outlets in the wall so more electricity can come out.
It’s like putting a second hole in the boat so the water can run out.


I heard that NASA is sending a satellite to study the sun. If they send it at night, it won’t burn up.

I hear ya, but if you’re generating excess power there is still going to be a bottom price that you still have to sell it for in order to keep it profitable.

I don’t think the water idea is a bad idea, because the excess power has to go somewhere. However, I think selling out of state also works.

Too bad it’s not a gas or liquid, that you could store until needed.

It’s California, they have very high price spikes that can avoided with the Powerwall. The other part is you will be charging a Telsa as well, so that is even more battery.

It’s not the most cost-effective but it does help you be more resistant when the power company turns off the power due to high winds.
