Yes, I get it, it's indeed a lot of surplus in the summer.
Long term storage would be the better solution, but batteries don't seems to be able to store a large amount of energy anyway. So in my opinion, it's really a tradeoff.
Maybe mine some bitcoins during summer? ;)
- hedora 4y agoI looked into this. Even assuming PG&E's buy back rate is 50% of current numbers, the ASICs have an expected profitability horizon of over one year of uptime. I'm not convinced they'll be profitable much longer after that, since hash/kWh keeps improving. Also, I bought the panels to reduce carbon emissions, and would rather sell the power back.
