174kWh in 24 hours that's more than some of you use in a week #solar #renewables #Netmetering

Approaching a MWh in just one week with this polar vortex. Extra bummer when the solar is under snow. We had almost 6MWh banked into winter. #winter #solar #snow #renewables #Netmetering

Winter is fully here in Maryland. The heat pumps have been running continuously for hours. It's 18f outside, and will get much colder with the vortex. 6-8 inches of snow tomorrow will cover the solar, so we'll be operating off our banked kWh with the utility, of which 4MWh remains. Thankful we have that much since I don't expect the solar to melt off for a week or more. If I really had to I guess I could find a teenager to broom off the ground mounts #solar #winter #renewables #Netmetering

#USA Lawmakers Sound Alarm Over Threat to #RooftopSolar in Puerto Rico

"#NetMetering has proven essential for families in #PuertoRico and essential for Puerto Rico's progress towards its own renewable goals."

Solar panels + net metering is now starting to pay off. Our household’s March electricity bill was almost 6000 pesos (~$105), but since net metering was enabled late last month, our April bill is now almost 2000 pesos (~$35). Hopefully this will even be further reduced when we have a full month’s worth of net metering.

Environmental groups including Environmental Working Group and NC WARN told the NC Court of Appeals that regulators erred when they approved Duke Energy's new rooftop #solar #netmetering rules and rates.

Environmental groups have appealed Duke Energy's new #netmetering rules that cut rooftop #solar payments in NC. They say regulators erred in not requiring an independent study of rooftop solar's benefits. Regulators rejected the idea.

HAMMER!! Der Industrieausschuss des #EU Parlaments hat sich auf das "#Netmetering Light" fürs #Balkonkraftwerk in ganz #Europa geeinigt! D.h. Abzug der Überschüsse vom Restverbrauch! Sogar Steuern und Abgaben auf selbigen können erlassen werden, wenn das Land das entscheidet!
