    18:35 Just a correction: it's not the number of Powerwalls deployed. Quite the opposite. It's the volume of solar panels deployed *without* a battery. A major part of the problem is that (most) rooftop systems don't have the ability to be curtailed. This is slowly changing, but it will take 20+ years for this to rinse through the system. So during the day when no one's home and their panels are pumping their entire output into the grid, it is utility solar and wind that take the brunt of curtailment. Nowadays utility solar and wind projectes are increasingly required to include some amount of storage, in order to be approved. There's talk of shifting consumer incentives for solar towards home batteries too, which should help. Some figures for you: We now have around 4m rooftop PV systems. That's with a population of 27m. 1 in 4 houses, or something like that. We've installed 30k home battiers in the 2024 H1, average size is 12-13kWh AFAIK. Both PV and home battery growth is accelerating too. So, good times unless you own a coal plant.

      @@tolpacourt Probably an expression used to describe limiting output of power generator to the grid. Electric grid is not elastic. Inputs must at all time match outputs or you'll get voltage going out of tolerance. This is why if there's an overabundance of input, you have to either decrease it or increase output.
      With batteries one blunts peaks and troughs of solar. Too much power? Fill the battery. To little power? Drain the battery.

    The review of the Australian power issue is very ill informed. The tesla installs are only in SA. Our power system issues are actually the opposite, we had over engineered distribution systems set up in the 80s and 90s for a population demand that didn't account for energy efficiency. The solar issue conversely is an issue of frequency synchronization, not oversupply leading to baseload shutdown. We have buckets of baseload, just not enough peak supply.

    After the exploding pager thing I will never be buying anything I can’t easily disassemble from a U.S. company or one of its global puppets, including here. I don’t really understand why anyone would when it could have a bomb in it. And as regards back doors; I remember the levels of smug satisfaction when John Deer used their back door to shut their tractors etc. in a Moscow showroom down and remember thinking that back door won’t be misused. I think in USA it is a common brand of tractor etc. if every farm with John Deer vehicles stopped working would there be enough food… seems like a big security risk and not where anyone should want a back door. Like backdooring the F35 or the M1 Abrams tank.

    Just to note, as an Aussie in regards to Solar, it has been marketed for decades for hot water systems. If you have a house built within the last 30 years, you most likely have solar powered hot water system at absolute minimum. The way the system is generally done for the winter is you flick a switch and then the hot water gets heated by power from the grid.
    So when you say Australians have been sold batteries, it actually solves a big portion of our issue. With Hot Water Systems powered by solar, the solar heats the water and that is basically stored. Batteries are basically just this exact same mechanism for the rest of the house.
    The part that Im unsure about is how fast the turnover is from battery back to the grid. Our family home on the farm, we had a big generator for when we would lose power for 4-5 days. However we would swap it over when there is a loss in power. Im unsure if when you swap it, you actually lose power for a fraction of a second. If not, then this isnt an issue and should be implemented for houses assuming its safe. If there is, then I assume there will need to be some intermediary, heck even if its possibly a small battery in between the big battery or the grid, as sort of a buffer. Maybe? I dont know, not an electrical engineer.
    The idea from that standpoint seems straight forward. I havent checked the marketing because the new issue now is how this will be solved for people in apartments. Houses its cut and dry. Just have solar, charge your battery, and when you get home, flick it over to the battery and run it til its like 5%, then swap back to the grid, or have an auto swap over. And to be honest, it doesnt feel like we are that far away from that.

      This was the case until recently, but you can now get systems that switch fast enough for the computers to stay on. There are some considerations for properly isolating the house so you don't fry someone working on the lines, but I think that's now pretty well sorted.

      Australia has one the of most gold plated generation and networked power system on the planet.
      The regulatory system created incentives to over capitalise the network.
      Which allowed them to raise prices higher then the rest of OPEC.
      Consequently when solar, and later batteries, became a thing the most wealthiest of our society quickly jumped over. This just made centralised power more expense because it reduced the install base.
      Which then made the business case for more customers to switch to solar.
      Which made the network more expensive.... Which raised prices which made more customers switch.
      A positive feedback loop that was described in government studies in thr 1980s. Which is why most of our state governments sold our generators. Which only lead to higher prices........

    Australian, my state (Queensland) just changed from labour to liberal government. They canned the pumped hydro project which was going to use this excess solar. The larger battery bank is in South Australia, a different state, it’s added a lot a stability to their grid allowing slower ramp up generation time to come online

    For Australia's excess solar power situation, why don't they just use the extra power to produce hydrogen/oxygen or desalinate water or anything useful? Seems like there are always uses for extra power during surge times.

    Battery storage is not a viable answer to anything more than smoothing minor peaks in electrical supply and demand. What they really need is some sort of major manufacturing that can scale with peak output. I recall a new electricity based ammonia production process is in the works which would be great as their is massive worldwide demand for ammonia and it is fairly easy to transport. Even useful as a fuel for the bulk transport ships similar to how LNG tankers use the boil-off from the cryotanks to supplement the main engine fuel.

    Something for people to think about:
    Is all of this newfound worry about encryption in communications, secure infrastructure, and steps against mass surveillance and surveillance state, really have to do with China, Russia and recent cyberwarfare happenings, whereas this has never been much of an issue for government in the past....
    Or this is really about a new vindictive government that is replacing all areas of administration and has no shame in stating they will persecute past government and justice who dared going against it's supreme leader, with potential for using all this undue power that justice and government has given itself to make political witch hunts or worse, because it will have absolute power to do so and go unpunished as all branches of government gets filled with sycophants from the same party?
    Honestly? I personally think this all has much more to do with the latter than the former. Obviously, it also has to do with the former, which is a convenient strawman to give, but much much more to do with the latter. Much like it's also a convenient strawmen to use to justify a trade war, or tariffs imposed on people.
    People in the privacy and security communities are tired of saying and tired of knowing - the problem with privacy erosion is an unbalance of power. If you give justice, government and/or intelligence agencies power enough over people that they can just have any private information they want at the reach of an internal search engine of dossiers, that's a single step away from a totalitarian dictatorship, and no step away from abuse of power.
    All that to say, regarding the current administration, in so many things - too little too late.

    The EU forced various EU countries to allow balcony solar, which basically ships as a kit you hang over the balcony rail and run a plug to a regular socket. Many come with batteries. Yes, people are annoyed with artifically high electricity costs, they buy and install such kits. They are around 800 euros with no battery storage for 2x400w panels, balcony mounts, cabling, inverter etc. More or less depending on the kit vendor and battery solution. You need basic DIY ability, that's all. Of course various countries have lobbies who argue for overly complicated compliance where you need to pay a 'professional', rather than the 'it just an appliance' approach.
    Now, whole house solar is another ball game. Is it really that expensive in the US for a roof based installation on a deteched house? Seems the US doesn't want people to have the option of solar panels or EVs, given the recent 100% tarriffs. There must be some US made options? Roof solar is much more expensive, but many times larger and can feed into EV charging or electrical heating via a heatpump. However, natrual gas prices in the US are supposed to go to next to zero, so there is often little financial sense if natrual gas costs so little relavtive to solar.

    You are right about the oversupply causing issues during the day. And you are right it has been a market response mainly, although governments and the private sector are mobilsiing many large battery projects in recent times to buy low in the day and sell high in the peak evening period, which will slowly hasten the demise of coal power.

    11:20: Doesn't matter if they were impossible, it matters how it was handled. I would also argue that the company itself would also be doing well without Musk, most of his influence on Tesla is hype that is not truly sustainable long-term, but for short-term it's "fine". Another issue is how this package devalues existing stock.
    And it also doesn't make sense that his pay package is that large for it.
