Then start investing in reducing the energy consumption of air conditioners, as that's by far the biggest consumer of energy in a home, and it's rather useless if it doesn't run during the day.
- icebraining 7y agoBut during the day is exactly when you less need batteries, since the sun is shining on the solar panels...
- nicoburns 7y agoYeah, solar seems like a pretty perfect match for aircon. It's also hottest when the sun is shining...
- merpnderp 7y agoI don't know about LA, but in the midwest temps usually peak around 4pm, so AC really starts to crank right when solar is letting up.
- ido 7y agoDepends on latitude I guess? In Berlin at the peak of summer sunset is around 10pm.
