The largest savings from an electric vehicle is found in their longevity. The Tesla drivetrain has less than a dozen moving parts. Combined with its all-aluminum construction it will last a very long time and could easily travel to 1 million miles with only battery swaps. Some folks have wrongly predicted those swaps will be expensive. With production scaling and new technologies for accessing and recycling critical minerals like lithium and cobalt the cost of Li-ion batteries actually falls year after year. (See chart from Union of Concerned Scientists). The replacement of my batteries at 150,000 + miles will be way cheaper than the engine rebuild and tranny swap an ICE car would need and the demand will drive technology and scientific research forward.

Strengthening their storage ties, Panasonic announced that it may begin producing lithium-ion battery batteries in China in partnership with Tesla. The announcement came from the company’s CEO Kazuhiro Tsuga, although as is so often the case, no more details were provided about the factory’s size or the required investment for project.

Up to three high-voltage batteries can be connected to a single Sunny Boy Storage-US, which gives maximum flexibility by using different storage capacities, even from different battery brands, in parallel. The concept is future-proof, allowing installers to add more battery capacity at any time. The AC-coupled system simplifies installation, reduces labor, offers high flexibility for future system expansion and cuts balance-of-system costs versus a DC-coupled approach to store an equivalent amount of power. Energy management features make it possible for the inverter to mitigate demand charges as well as time-of-use pricing, offering homeowners maximum savings. The SMA Automatic Backup Unit, which allows use of backup power and is rated for 200 Amp service, is now available in conjunction with the Sunny Boy Storage-US.

Glen Morris will be running another four day residential Solar + Storage training courses at Smart Energy Lab near Healesville, Victoria.  Next course runs 8:30am to 5pm 26 February to 1st March (3:00pm finish on Friday).

"It’s not the right vehicle for the market today," said Abuelsamid. "It doesn’t really make sense to keep it going. As much as you’d like to, it’s probably better to let it go."

“The Town of Boxborough is supportive of solar energy system projects and the solar array at 1414 Massachusetts Ave. recently constructed by Green Street Power Partners. Their team is the latest example of how the Town is working with private entities to provide renewable energy options for its residents and businesses” said Adam L. Duchesneau, town planner for Boxborough. “Since there are limited solar energy system opportunities on municipal land, we hope this project encourages other land owners to explore ways in which they can make their properties more sustainable or even provide direct energy benefits to others within the community.”

In a sign of things to come, California featured predominantly in May’s headlines with the news that it had set a new record for peak output of utility-scale solar at more than 10.5 GW. It also hit a new record for the instantaneous portion of demand met by renewable energy on April 28, at 73%, just 15 minutes before the solar record, with solar and wind alone meeting 64% of demand.

And then there’s his monthly electric bill, which has dropped to—wait for it—zero. That helps him pay off the 10-year loan he took out to buy the solar panel system. When he is done paying it off, in 2028, the system will still have another 15 years under warranty.
