While electric camper vans and motorhomes make flashier headlines, we’ve long thought hybrids make much more sense in the present. A hybrid system could immediately improve the notoriously poor fuel economy of a recreational vehicle without the limited range issues of pure electric powertrains. It’d also provide a built-in battery to power camp equipment, with an attached charging system to boot.

Based on my experience as well as the simplicity and quality of the car, I plan to keep my Model S at least 2x as long as any other car. Assuming I drive 150k miles my savings on gas and maintenance scales to $22.5k and my Tesla cost drops to $63,000. If I did sell, studies show the resale value of the Model S exceeds other cars in its class and the Model 3 is probably even stronger. According to a 2018 report by Loup Ventures a 50k Model S has lost just 28% of its value versus 40% for a BMW 7 series. That extra retained value is worth 12% of my $87 pre-tax purchase price, or $10,400. Pushing my Tesla cost down to $52,560. Way cheaper than any car in its class.

We recently touched on the topic of climate change in an article about how a startup called Climeworks is developing a technology to capture heat-trapping carbon dioxide. The effort is noble, if not entirely lucrative at present. And, let’s face it, the only way to clean up the planet at scale is to make it profitable. The strategy also needs to consider zero-carbon technologies that are practical and proven. Solar energy certainly qualifies under that criteria. The U.S. solar industry generated more than $150 billion in economic activity in 2016, with revenues jumping from $42 million to $210 million over a 10-year period between 2007 and 2017, PBS reported. The article also noted that about twice as many people work in solar-related jobs than in the coal mining industry. Maybe that’s why it seems that so many companies, including Google, are floating the idea of floating solar farms.

The South African renewable energy industry rejoiced as the outstanding PPAs were finally signed on April 4.

The H5001 hybrid inverter has undergone some physical changes. The H5001 now comes with a lockable distribution box and lockable external PV disconnect for extra security. The conduit knockouts are laser-cut for easy removal and consistency in size. Also, the access cover is easier to remove for installers to program the AP registers.

The report is a call to these groups to “come together and focus on both the need for cybersecurity standards at the distribution level, as well as a call for the collective stakeholders in the industry to look at standards on the manufacturers of these devices that are being integrated into our electric system,” Mroz said.

Picture the scene: you’re about to embark on a long journey but just before you board your bus, train or plane, you realise your smartphone or tablet is low on battery. You find a public USB port nearby and plug in your device, hoping to get enough juice to see you through your trip. It seems like a pretty straightforward thing to do but public USB ports aren’t always safe and security experts warn that they could put your phone at risk.
