      EV batteries are huge and free with every vehicle. Hahaha Hahaha.
      Self parking EV will nuzzle up and onto a low mounted wall power point and trade electric energy and stability with the grid for money 23hrs a day. At every car parking space.
      Governments not wanting to spend more on massive GRID expansion projects or generation plant expansion will love people paying to power the existing grid.

      10% of all rooftops will supply 660Gwh daily to the national power grid.
      That is far more than the fossil fueled power plants can do.
      The maths is simple,

      Surprisingly true and the sun shines in every state 10mths or more every year.
      Burning a little gas in winter in some states or importing southern PV electricity would not be a problem.

      It doesn't matter. If you listened it's more efficient to go electric therefore less emissions. The main problem is the end cycle. It's cheaper to produce the power at the end of the line(the home) instead of at the power plant.

      Elon Musk is also building demand for his energy storage technologies and generation technologies.
      All automotive manufacturers agree, that most vehicles are parked 23hrs a day.
      EV big batteries are free with the vehicle.
      Parked storage is 2,000gWh in Australia when all are EV.
      This is DISPATCHABLE energy.
      4 time more than fossil fueled power plants today. If you are lucky.
      More flooded coal mines in the future ?????

    If the future is 100% electric then the state grid and the national grid is not big enough.
    Grid electric energy is just 10% of all energy used.
    Grid infrastructure is extremely expensive and was valued for the clean lighting of streets and buildings and homes.
    Also for intermittent use of appliances.
    For grid electric energy to replace fossil fuel energy is impossible because of new grid capacity construction costs.
    Expensive to build.
    The grid itself is valuable and also too expensive to expand.
    Rooftop PV and v2g EV oversized battery combined have no grid costs.
    No grid costs is the feature for dirt cheap electricity and fossil energy savings at the customer's home.
    Rooftop PV is cheaper than windows $m² installed in Australia. Government policy.
    More grid upgrade costs and new fossil fueled central generation construction costs after decades of neglect was the electoral danger for the government.
    Unloading the grid with rooftop PV was a dirt cheap way of protecting the existing national grid from over loading.
    The government streamlined the installation process and formalised the savings with some savings to the grid customers.
    This also protected the grid owners cashflow.
    The Australian national electrical grid is very long and fragile and was built over 100years.
    All grids are fragile and not over built.
    Australian grid length is 1million km.
    Construction costs are $1million to $6million per km. Minimum valuation is 1million x $1million =
    $TRILLIONS.
    More grid capacity is impossible.
    Small rooftop PV = fossil fueled central generation.
    Big rooftop PV with v2g EV oversized battery is economically unbeatable.
    In Australia, with 26 million people.

    • @guringai
      @guringai ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Subsidising low-income households is the job of the government.
      I work in a sector which is involved in retro fitting strata buildings with solar. It's very difficult now, largely because of strata committees & building complexity & therefore higher costs.
      Changing planning laws are what is needed to prevent the problems we are facing now.
      Normally we find that replacing centralised gas hot water with a heat pump has better economics than solar PV.

      Saul mentioned every postcode needs a community battery. This allows ppl in apartments, or renters who can't install rooftop solar, to access cheaper excess solar power stored in the community battery.
      It also allows ppl without a household energy storage battery to make use of their excess solar power in the evening, which would be sent to the community battery during the day.
      The TH-cam video...Dr Saul Griffiths explains why electrifying the economy is 'anti-inflationary'...is an interview where he talks about how the govt can spend on kickstarting the transition of household machines to electric..& that the returns to the economy would be many times greater than the investment.
