Victoria Australia - 3 hours free electricity because of solar. “11 am is the start of free power periods under some tariffs, and clearly many households are choosing to automate when they charge their batteries and vehicles and run their appliances.” A […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

@jpetazzo Grid/market is managed in 5 minutes lots. One lot was the peak, but was a lot of renewables all day There was enough renewable geneation available for 100%, but: A) While some coal has learnt to dance, not flexible enough to turn off, so take […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

Australia has created the most cost-effective rooftop solar industry in the developed world - and it shows: 1. Australia consistently has the highest per capita adoption rate globally, with over one third of all households now having rooftop solar […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

@stuffifound Cover your rooftops first. Like Australia. Generate it where it is used. Add batteries and EVs. Take the power away from corporations. Then you can do carparks. But also don't demonise farmers harvesting the sun. It diversifies their […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

Australia leads per capita as rooftops turn homes into power stations & BESS scales fast. Centralized grids aren’t competing anymore—they’re being replaced faster than linear models anticipated

It's not just sheep that like solar over farmland - solar panels provide farmworkers shelter from the sun and reduces fatigue: 'A recent study in Colorado USA found that farmworkers can also benefit. It spoke to workers and took various physical heat […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

This makes clear why coal and gas is unloved while renewables are booming in Australia (and the world): www.climatecouncil.org.au/resources…

David Osmond - FB Australia's main electricity grid, the NEM, will soon have 40GW/113GWh of storage (not including Snowy2.0). That's enough storage to power the grid for about 4.5hrs at average demand of ~25GW. Those of you who follow my weekly […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

Australia NEM Batteries soaking up excess solar dumping it during during and pushing out peaking gas overnight, then dumping the left over, before the sun comes up, to start over again. There has been a run in recent days of batteries supplying more […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

The biggest oil exporter on Earth is building massive solar farms and battery grids. Not because they’re green — because it’s cheaper, faster, and smarter. They power themselves with sunlight and sell the oil to you. Mock clean energy all you like — […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

Australia’s main grid hits new renewable record share of 77.9 per cent, driven by rooftop solar – the second time in 48 hours that the record has been broken. Driven by large amounts of rooftop solar generation, which on this occasion accounted for more […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

Solar made the fastest energy leap in history. 🌞⚡ 8 yrs to reach 1,000 TWh, then just 3 to surge past 2,000. Wind’s not far behind. What coal & hydro needed decades, solar did in a decade. Exponential change ignores politics & ideology — once it starts […] [Original post on solarcene.community]

That "duck curve" – with its midday solar belly and steep evening demand ramp – is now the daily shape of South Australia’s energy system. It comes with challenges, yes, but also unprecedented opportunity. From grid-scale BESS projects like Bungama […] [Original post on solarcene.community]
