Grid electricity prices are outpacing inflation by ~2x, and AI data centers are only adding more demand to the grid. Meanwhile, financed rooftop solar has settled in around 14 cents per kWh, locked in for 20 years.
One price keeps climbing. The other one you get to fix.
Battle of the 3-Row EVs!
@Tesla Model Y L comes in $15K cheaper than the competition AND wins headroom across all three rows (take note, tall people!)
@Cadillac Vistiq wins interior space.
@Rivian R1S wins range.
No loser in this race. Just depends on what matters to your family.
Full breakdown 👇
Tesla Model Y L Launch Edition also comes with:
- 1 year of free FSD
- 1 year of free Supercharging
- Free interior and exterior color
- Free wheel size selection
If you're a homeowner in Connecticut thinking about solar, here's what just changed:
✅ State incentives now extended beyond 2027
✅ Plug-in balcony solar now legal
✅ Battery storage explicitly favored in the new rules
The fine print still gets written by regulators.
Worth watching closely, or follow me to see my future updates.
This new Connecticut law authorizes balcony solar, expands the state’s community solar program — and still leaves a lot to be desired, advocates say.

At the center of the 4th-generation Enphase Energy System is the IQ Battery 10C.
With a smaller footprint, higher energy density, and fewer components, it simplifies installation while delivering more usable energy for homeowners.
Built with installers in mind. Designed for homeowners to love.

Hi @jason, @solar here! Appreciate the shoutout. But as you know, the House just voted to eliminate the 30% tax credit for solar and batteries! We’re already losing the EV game to China—solar and storage are next. One by one, we’re ceding leadership in key strategic industries.
AI will be next, simply because we won’t have enough electricity to power the data centers. Solar is the fastest form of electricity to deploy, and we’re cutting it off at the knees.
Your bestie @DavidSacks should at least advocate for a phasedown of the ITC to buy time until nuclear plants come online.
Economist: The solar+battery model is working.
California gets 75% of its power from solar midday.
Batteries now kick in for 30% at night.
Battery capacity jumped 32x since 2018.
Iran’s nuclear program has cost the country ~$1T, according to its former foreign minister @JZarif.
To put that in perspective:
•That’s enough to finance a 750 GW solar farm—about a third of the world’s installed capacity—which would generate over 40% of Iran’s total energy needs.
•Even more striking: $1T could build 500 fully integrated solar factories, each producing 10 GW of panels per year from raw silicon to finished modules.
That’s 5 TW of solar output per year—enough to cover all of Iran’s current energy consumption in just 5 months.
As of 2023, Iran’s sole operational nuclear power facility, the Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, generated ~ 6.6 terawatt-hours (TWh) of electricity. This output constituted less than 1% of the country’s total energy consumption.
Let that sink in.
Wow! If that’s your average bill, it’s one of the largest we’ve seen here at Solar.com. While you can’t control the rates, you can definitely reduce your costs by going solar. I ran the numbers for you:
To cover 100% of your annual energy use, you’ll need a 25 kW solar system, which is about 60 panels. It’s also crucial to consider adding a couple of battery backups to your setup to optimize savings and have power during blackouts.
Hopefully, you have enough roof space or at least a big yard for a ground-mounted system! 😎
If you prefer not to put any money down, the cost would be around $600/month. In 20 years, your system will be fully paid off, and you’ll enjoy free electricity!
