Good point!
has there been any year when solar growth was *overestimated* ?

At the unDavos Summit, Tandem PV CEO Scott Wharton (left) discussed advancements in #perovskite #solar, set to reach gigawatt-scale manufacturing beginning in 2028, taking over the solar industry just a dozen years later, according to Rethink Energy.

Happy #Perovskite New Year from Tandem PV.

RIP to one of America's top solar champions, and much more. We think he would have been fascinated by #perovskite
When Jimmy Carter entered hospice care in early 2023, @nathanielbullard.com and I took a look at his energy/environment legacy, which went well beyond putting solar panels on the White House and was surprising in some ways
Jimmy Carter’s Presidency Was Defined by Energy
The 98-year-old former president was an early champion of solar power who also saw coal as key to the US reducing its dependence on foreign oil.

“Anyone working in #perovskites today stands on the shoulders of giants,” notes Tandem PV founder/CTO Colin Bailie, who developed the first perovskite-silicon tandem solar cell while still at Stanford University. tinyurl.com/p4upw753 #energysecurity #domesticmanufacturing
Commercialising perovskite PV, rethinking yield forecasts and the cutthroat BESS supply chain – PV Tech Power 41 out now
PV Tech Power 41 is out now and tackles the “hope and hype” of perovskite PV, a technology inching ever closer to commercialisation.

One of my favorite facts:

In 1975 solar panels cost $115 per watt, which means it would have cost $1 million to put solar panels on your roof.

Today, you can buy solar panels for less than $0.25 per watt.

Technical post: Yikes.
This is wild.

In 2022, utilities expected electricity demand to grow by 23 GW over the next 5 years.

In 2023, they upped that to 39 GW (which was at the time shocking). This year, they are projecting *128 GW* of new demand.

We are truly not ready for this kind of growth.

Thanks very much to @russmitchell.bsky.social for writing today's @latimes.com Boiling Point newsletter! It's about an electric vehicle road trip from the Bay Area to L.A. that went much smoother than Russ' previous attempts, thanks to a Tesla adapter: www.latimes.com/environment/...
Driving a Ford Mustang EV along Interstate 5, but charging up at Tesla station. Is that a thing?
Tesla recently opened a new Supercharger station near Harris Ranch, and it’s massive.

Sunday Nov. 24 was the 125th day since March 7 that California ISO grid demand was met by over 100% Wind-Water-Solar supply, and for 3.6 h, peaking at 111% of demand.

It's a team effort-wind, utility solar, distributed solar (to reduce grid demand), geothermal, small & large hydro and batteries.

We endorse this obsession. #perovskite #solar
Point taken scholargoggler.com, I became a little too obsessed with #perovskite structured materials #ChemSky
