Riding @amtrak.com from BOS to NYC, very cool to see offshore wind staging area!

The ITC repeal….Remember, we are winning! Solar is the cheapest fastest energy to deploy. This industry has a long track record of innovating our way to success no matter the circumstances. In the words of @tombrady.bsky.social, “LFG!”

The Japanese rail system is magic. There is no need for cars to get to most destinations. I wish this was more common in the US.

I agree no benefit to running a new circuit, but why do we need 240V for this? 120V would be fine. You can pull 2,800W continuous on a 15A circuit.

I agree for older buildings, but on newer builds, the latest electrical code requires a lot of dedicated outlets, fridge, microwave, etc.

Much more powerful & designed to last 10 years.

Correct, the product is UL listed to be plugged-in.

Beautifully designed such that you’d want it in your space. It can be plugged in at all times & automatically backup appliances. If you have variable energy costs, @pilaenergy.bsky.social is designed to save money, charging when energy is cheap or from solar and discharge when energy is expensive.

Would love to hear you chat with Cole, founder of @pilaenergy.bsky.social on Volts Pod!

Interesting: small home batteries that you can plug into any wall outlet & tuck away just about anywhere. If you plug in multiples, they automatically form a mesh network. This is the battery equivalent of "balcony solar."

I agree with Nate. 20-30kWhs installed on every home. This was Kunal’s thesis for starting Lunar Energy. ConnectDER is working on shrinking install cost with a new meter socket adapter designed for battery storage. The remaining work to do is to fix permitting & interconnection.

Do you want to avoid getting sick this winter? Avoid breathing other people's germs by bringing in outdoor air and keeping carbon dioxide levels in the 500-800 ppm range (400-450 is outdoor level.) Read more in my latest blog: www.natethehousewhisperer.com/blog/want-to...
