>From what I've read, California now has so many PV installations that they're actually deliberately cutting output - there's more supply than demand. Springtime is a particular problem because there's ample sunshine, but the weather is mild, so there's little need for heating or aircon.
Long-term storage would seem to be the real answer, I guess (I"m not an expert), and maybe the legislature needs to revisit their RE goals. But for the immediate situation, more EVs => more demand => more efficient use of installed PV, no? Since charging tends to be at night, short-term storage would be a factor, I suppose. Seems easier to implement than long-term storage, but again, what do I know? David Roden, EVDL moderator & general lackey To reach me, don't reply to this message; I won't get it.
