Rooftop solar panels are flooding California's grid. That's a problem
- more_corn 3y agoToo bad you didn’t incentivize deploying batteries. If you’d offered a $2k credit 100% of solar deployments would have a battery, grid would be decentralized and everyone wins. My friend deployed solar in CA. “Buddy why didn’t you deploy a battery?” Net metering means I sell to the grid and my “battery” is 200% efficient. But without a battery you’re not allowed to run your solar when the grid goes down.
