- In Monterey County, California, the Cal Flats solar facility generates enough solar energy to renewably power 100,000 homes a year. Excess energy from Arevon's 280 MW solar panel system is stored in a 240 MWh Megapack, one of the largest battery installations in the U.S.

The sheer scale of this is actually quite difficult to imagine
The scale of this power station is 2.5% of typical nuclear power station. You need to build 40 to break equal. Wonder how much it will cost?
@@hrissan less then a nuclear ☢️ power station
@Harry Groundwater and definitely way less time to build one vs a nuclear station which takes what, a decade? Tesla can crank it out in a year.
@@Singuy888 in California probably more than a decade. In China about 4 years.
@@hrissan To replace a 1-gigawatt (GW) nuclear power plant with Tesla Megapack batteries, we need to consider two factors: energy storage capacity (measured in megawatt-hours, MWh) and power output capacity (measured in megawatts, MW).
Assuming the nuclear power plant operates at a capacity factor of about 90%, it would produce:
1 GW * 0.9 * 24 hours = 21,600 MWh of energy per day.
A single Tesla Megapack has a capacity of 3 MWh. To store this amount of energy, you would need:
21,600 MWh / 3 MWh = 7,200 Megapacks.
However, this only addresses the energy storage aspect. To deliver the same 1 GW of power, you would also need the Megapacks to have sufficient power output capacity.
Each Tesla Megapack can output 1.5 MW. So, to achieve a 1 GW power output, you would need:
1,000 MW / 1.5 MW = 666.67 ≈ 667 Megapacks. or 9 months of the total production of the Laythrop faciity
In conclusion, you would need 7,200 Tesla Megapacks for energy storage and 667 Megapacks for power output. The larger number (7,200) determines the total number of Megapacks needed to replace a 1 GW nuclear power plant. However, this is a simplified analysis that doesn't account for factors like the efficiency of energy conversion, the need for redundancy, or the fact that energy storage systems are not meant to replace baseload power generation sources like nuclear power plants.
But to answer your question $14.4 Billion a lot of money but: A nuclear power plant being built in Georgia is now projected to cost its owners more than $30 billion.
A financial report from one of the owners on Friday clearly pushed the cost of Plant Vogtle near Augusta past that milestone, bringing its total cost to $30.34 billion
That amount doesn’t count the $3.68 billion that original contractor Westinghouse paid to the owners after going bankrupt, which would bring total spending to more than $34 billion.
And no radiation to deal with
Only 2 Million households in New Zealand. We would only need 20 of those! Crazy!
NZ is very eco friendly. I wonder why the govt. there is not investing in Tesla mega packs and solar panels?

Tesla is on a different level, they always have been. If one company can do so much, what’s everyone else’s excuse? #❤️
TESLA can simply UPGRADE all Existing powerplant & Substation with MEGAPACKS , then Decommission UNEEDED powerplants.
Dunno, what’s your excuse?
@@xpeterson dunno, maybe I don’t have millions of dollars or a product line to sell to consumers, or maybe it’s partially because I’m one person and don’t have hundreds of people working for me to further a brand that I don’t have. That’s a start

Masters of energy transition. 👏
Awesome. Making a real dent in advancing sustainable energy.
Also making a real dent in farm land.
@@superspeeder farm land? LOL. Can you farm on a desert?
@@irokpe6977 are all major cities built alongside large swaths of desert? No. Are large-scale solar “farms” being suggested as a power grid solution for cities built alongside farm land? Yes.
I’ll let you figure out the rest.
Agrovoltaic energy, also known as agrophotovoltaics, consists of using the same area of land to obtain both solar energy and agricultural products. In other words, solar panels coexist with crops on the same surface, turning desert land into farm land . also using less water for the plants .
@@rodden1953 yes, I’ve seen that which does look promising. Let’s see if they can make it economically viable at large scale in various climate zones.
Our company helps clean those panels! Beautiful place honestly!
I love you Tesla and everything that you do. Saving the only planet we have when others thought it was impossible. Renewables are sexy because of you!
love this, keep it up tesla!
THIS is why I invest in and have confidence in Tesla!
in the next video like this, you should really mention how much it cost to build, how long it took to complete, and compare it to the traditional peaker plant. THAT is what ended up REALLY shocking me about the one you guys did in Australia. Speed and cost to build is just such a no brainer.
In terms of the battery packs. i would have loved to know how long they could stay on with no solar charge during demand. i think that would be an awesome metric.
They are specifically designed to be modular and fit on the largest trailers… They can crank these things out and be up and running in no time at all. I imagine less than 3 months for install and commissioning even for a large site like this.
I share such good information. If you don't check it out, you'll miss it.
That's impressive, we're about to put in a 6MW system with 3MW of battery, Tesla is on fire!
literally
no that’s the Bolt.
Tesla stock dipped severally , resulting to about 23% drop in the shares value this month. I seriously need suggestions on how to diversify my $400k portfolio made up of volatile TSLA.
Find stocks with market-beating yields and shares that at least keep pace with the market for a long term. For a successful long-term strategy I recommend you seek the guidance a broker or financial advisor.
Very true , I diversified my $400K portfolio across multiple market with the aid of an investment advisor, I have been able to generate over $900k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds in few months.
@@robertosaviano215 Please can you leave the info of your investment advisor here? I’m in dire need for one.
@@elliot985 My advisor is ‘’Isabel Cecilia Ramsey’’ she’s highly qualified and experienced in the financial market. She has extensive knowledge of portfolio diversity and is considered an expert in the field. I recommend researching her credentials further.

Thank you for this tip. it was easy to find your coach. Did my due diligence on her before scheduling a phone call with her. She seems proficient considering her résumé.
thank you for accellerating the world's transition to sustainable energy!!!!!!!
Nope more coal being used than any other time in worlds history. Even if the west goes 100% renewable heavy industry will all move to the global south where oil will also be sold off for cheap to them.
Fantastic!
Thank you Arevon and Tesla
Wow… great!!! 👍👍👍
Mmmm Tesla is just changing the world man 😍
the very last shot is great for scale. look at those toy cars that are actually real ones!
Keep it up Tesla, and from the bottom of my heart thank you!!!;)🎉🎉🎉❤
I’m impressed!
beautiful! perfect!
❤always spectacular!!! Go Tesla!!!!❤❤❤❤
Love it, changing the way we consume energy not by talking, policies, or terrorizing people about the benefit without the solution. Tesla is paving the way via Science and Economics. Love the Action of this company, energy has not be revolutionized in the longest. This will provide industries, economic gains and support for generations
Amazingly beautiful!
It makes me feel safe. Keep it up Tesla.
Love it!
Revelatory, revolutionary. Clean air, massively reduced CO2 emissions, hyper-abundant near limited energy, for all time 🌍 ❤
Amazing.
Wow amazing will consider ordering a Tesla!
Hope this is the beginning of what we’ll see in other communities.

Thank you and great job to the Tesla teams, and Elon Musk and others for starting this energy revolution. But it's a shame that solar panels are only a max efficiency of 23%. I believe there is much more research to be done in this field to get efficiencies up to 50% or more. Also the lifespan needs to be increased, ~thirty years just isn't long enough, because of recycling and mining factors.
Tesla has said that depending of nature their panels life span is max 50 years wich is pretty great. Also Elon Musk has said just like you that panels efficiency could maybe be maxed to 40-50%.

THIS IS ELON MUSK!

Megawatteriffic! 🔌
Makes me wonder if they could rebuild that if they would install the panels mixed with the megapacks with shorter cable runs to reduce the loss per panel.
Probably a single point connection to the grid is preferable.
Wasn't talking to grid. I was talking loss of panel to the 1/4 mile run to storage
@@CoolSilver I know and you didn't get my point.
@@niceguy100000 switching hardware to the grid can be in one place. Tesla and their virtual power plant can manage the load as needed and for sake of grid stabilization multiple grid entry phases would be nice. Even across separate grid operators to ease the synchronization
Wooo!
🔋🌞
How are you here already? It was just posted haha
Absolutely champion this kind of thing. That looks brilliant. Can you come over here to Scotland with one of these battery packs. 👍😁🔋Lass Solar more wind turbines.
That's covering the needs for about 0,05% of the US population! Not bad!
I'm sure they have very valid reasons, but I find it odd there is not overlap between the pads the packs sit on and the panels. Seems like a no brainier to overlap when possible.
There's a similar effect in agriculture. It turns out to be beneficial for some crops to grow them under solar panels because the crops do better with partial shade.
@@DemPilafian yea I saw a study on that, only drawback is the ability to easily mass till, plant and pick the crops, but on a small scale it was working well
@@neil4mt The strategy for large scale implementation I saw was to space out the rows of panels and mount them higher. It's kind of like how farmers in Texas install wind turbine spread out across their fields.
I would like real numbers expected yield/ cost per KWh cost of transportation back into the grid / profit and loss see how efficient and cost effective it is compared to a regular gas plant

What is the impact on the environment to mine for the materials to make these batteries?
Quase esqueci se quiser adicionar baterias pra um quarto estágio de reserva se o a álcool faltar combustível... Todo esse carro pode sustentar ao movimento as reservas de bateria, mas só pra caso de urgência. Afinal bateria polui mais que álcool a longo prazo !😊

Remember, you don't have to put solar panels over land like this. We have plenty of places where the land is already in use like parking lots and giant warehouse buildings we can cover with solar. Don't forget about solar agrivoltaics too where you grow plants under the solar panels.

I"m wondering what is the life time of these solar panels, otherwise it"ll not be efficient as it looks

NEVER Running on _EMPTY_
Now, we only need like 500x more? I know, that sounds sarcastic, but, it was a whopping 1,500x "more" (really) just 3 years ago (battery day mention).
So, at this rate of exponential growth, most the world should be battery powered and solar/wind charged within 10 to 15 years 🌞
Things are going fast also now they have the new mega factory to make theys bad Bois
We just need to clear the existing backed up 2,000+gwhs renewable energy interconnection ques actually and presto 80-90% renewable powered grid with quite a bit of battery storage. Nuclear can fill in the rest with some gas as a last resort. 👍🏻
@@4literv6 at somepoint the gas has to go and in my oppion nuclear is too expensive and here atleast we bassicly just need the batterys 5gwh and we be golden and we got no nuclear at the momement so thats a thing closeing nuclear is insane to me and but building new onces makes little senes to me as well due to the high cost and the long installation time plus the amount of space a nuclear plant truely uses are a bit much
@@pingvingaming idk imo nuclear has always been demonized and likely by the fossil fuel industry. Per gwh generated it is the safest most reliable form of modern energy generation, and molten salt or modular reactors have a lot of promise.
Also to consider? Here in the U.S. about 60 operating nuke plants continually provide 20%+of all our power needs. It takes over 3,600+other power generation plant locations to get the rest. 🙂
@@4literv6 can't argue about the safety thats settled. In the US it may be a good idea the infrastructure or at least a foundation is there to expand on but i see it
but for a country there have no natural resource in the form of metal or uranium it just dosnt make a lot of sens invensting in a technology that probbly most likely would never pay itself off due to the insanely cost of building it when wind and solar is getthing cheaper and more efficent every month it seems like plus in my case at least we already at 70% renewable with wind only soo adding nuclear to the mix at htis point is pointless nuclear makes sense somewhere but not everywhere same goes for wind and solar
idk why you don't upload these videos on fb, ig, and twitter
😍
Also assuming the acreage is accurate. 2,900 acres of solar real estate even if those 100,000 homes were only sitting on a half Acre (sub division homes) that's using 2,900 acres to power 50,000 acres worth of property. Which is pretty efficient land usage wise.
However I still believe Elon and the Tesla Solar team should explore developing solar out on the ocean. But that has challenges of its own I'm sure but still free acreage out there as far as keeping long term civilization land needs in mind.
When in Chile?
Yes YES YES YES.
I believe in Tesla
Good
where can i find how much did the project cost?
