There are two powerful forces at work in the Global #EnergyTransformation; 1/ The rapid migration from the #BaseloadParadigm to the “#BatteriesAreTheGrid de-facto architecture and 2/ Consumer #EnergyIndependence via #RooftopSolar (and local #BESS) - #CommunitySolar solutions. Both forces are #virtuous and have changed #EnergyModels forever. @RenewEconomyRSSFeed

Net metering for solar owners suffers defeat in California courts https://calmatters.org/economy/2026/03/net-metering-defeat-for-rootftop-solar-in-california-courts/ #NEM3 #Solar #RooftopSolar #CAEnergy

Today our rooftop solar generated ~75% of our power. I bet we would have been >100% had we not charged Jillian’s car and not washed (and dried) multiple comforters. None of this is a problem, just excited commentary. So much fun.

It was supposed to be sunny today. It is thus far, not. However the still 100% cloud coverage is the thinnest it has been all week, except for a few very brief Sol Peekaboos yesterday.

We’re on track for our best solar production day ever. Yay!

A very simple graphic shows that we are producing 5.1 kW exporting 3.3 kW and consuming 1.7 kW

Our solar panels are generating 300 W of juice despite it being morning, still pretty dark, and surprisingly foggy. Looking forward to our first full day of these guys with the naked sun. Maybe this weekend? Maybe?

Sooooo. A nice IBEW fella came, knocked on the door said we’d have a small blip in power while he confirmed the install AND added the extra meter. Today we formally add solar to the list of things we harvest here at #MacJohnsonFarm, phase 3.

Exporting power even with it being super cloudy out. Weeee!

A very simple graphic illustrating that our solar array is producing 1.3 kW and 1 kW is going back to the grid with the rest being used by our home

A gentle reminder that warehouses are for rooftop solar panels and housing wares, not people.

With or without rooftop solar panels, virtual power plants save money.

Access to discounted electricity rates and cost-cutting VPPs is coming, rooftop solar or not.

Running on solar this afternoon. So glad to have to rooftop panels up!

I've noticed about a dozen other homes in my conservative rural Virginia neighborhood doing the same, and the town rec center recently got a large rooftop system as well. It gives me hope that some things are still moving in the right direction, even in these dark times.
