Excerpt from this Op-Ed from the New York Times:

At first glance, Xi Jinping seems to have lost the plot.

China’s president appears to be smothering the entrepreneurial dynamism that allowed his country to crawl out of poverty and become the factory of the world. He has brushed aside Deng Xiaoping’s maxim “To get rich is glorious” in favor of centralized planning and Communist-sounding slogans like “ecological civilization” and “new, quality productive forces,” which have prompted predictions of the end of China’s economic miracle.

But Mr. Xi is, in fact, making a decades-long bet that China can dominate the global transition to green energy, with his one-party state acting as the driving force in a way that free markets cannot or will not. His ultimate goal is not just to address one of humanity’s most urgent problems — climate change — but also to position China as the global savior in the process.

It has already begun. In recent years, the transition away from fossil fuels has become Mr. Xi’s mantra and the common thread in China’s industrial policies. It’s yielding results: China is now the world’s leading manufacturer of climate-friendly technologies, such as solar panels, batteries and electric vehicles. Last year the energy transition was China’s single biggest driver of overall investment and economic growth, making it the first large economy to achieve that.

This raises an important question for the United States and all of humanity: Is Mr. Xi right? Is a state-directed system like China’s better positioned to solve a generational crisis like climate change, or is a decentralized market approach — i.e., the American way — the answer?

How this plays out could have serious implications for American power and influence.

Look at what happened in the early 20th century, when fascism posed a global threat. America entered the fight late, but with its industrial power — the arsenal of democracy — it emerged on top. Whoever unlocks the door inherits the kingdom, and the United States set about building a new architecture of trade and international relations. The era of American dominance began.

Climate change is, similarly, a global problem, one that threatens our species and the world’s biodiversity. Where do Brazil, Pakistan, Indonesia and other large developing nations that are already grappling with the effects of climate change find their solutions? It will be in technologies that offer an affordable path to decarbonization, and so far, it’s China that is providing most of the solar panels, electric cars and more. China’s exports, increasingly led by green technology, are booming, and much of the growth involves exports to developing countries.

From the American neoliberal economic viewpoint, a state-led push like this might seem illegitimate or even unfair. The state, with its subsidies and political directives, is making decisions that are better left to the markets, the thinking goes.

But China’s leaders have their own calculations, which prioritize stability decades from now over shareholder returns today. Chinese history is littered with dynasties that fell because of famines, floods or failures to adapt to new realities. The Chinese Communist Party’s centrally planned system values constant struggle for its own sake, and today’s struggle is against climate change. China received a frightening reminder of this in 2022, when vast areas of the country baked for weeks under a record heat wave that dried up rivers, withered crops and was blamed for several heatstroke deaths.

John Podesta may be one of the most influential people you’ve never heard of. He has held high positions in three presidential administrations and created a nonprofit that influences legislation and policy. He also oversees the spending of hundreds of billions of your tax dollars.

Podesta is one of the major tentacles of the Left’s massive influence campaign in Washington, D.C., a behemoth I call the Woketopus. It’s the subject of my new book, “The Woketopus: The Dark Money Cabal Manipulating the Federal Government.”

The book explains how the Left’s dark money network props up a system of woke nonprofits — groups advocating climate alarmism, transgender orthodoxy, critical race theory and technocratic government — that staff and advise the federal government, especially in the Biden-Harris administration.

John Podesta’s brainchild, the Center for American Progress, upholds all four major issues and has been particularly active in pushing subsidies for wind and solar, even though fossil fuels and nuclear energy are far more reliable. While many on the Left claim that man-made climate change threatens to destroy our civilization, climate doom predictions have stubbornly refused to come true since the 1970s, and the Left’s purported solutions to this overexaggerated crisis make life harder for Americans and others around the world.

So, who exactly is John Podesta?

Slow charging in parking lots?

Was working through a thought experiment with @jadagul about one way of improving car charging infrastructure in the US by using unmetered slow-chargers (120V plug outlets) in parking lots.

Obviously, building out a metered fast charger (or even 240V charger) is going to be far, far more expensive than running a 120V line out to that same space. 120V chargers can charge about 1 kW, and electric cars get 2-5 miles/kWh, so a slow charger space can add about 2-5 charge-miles/hour parked. This isn't a lot, but it's enough to cover a ton of ordinary shopping trips in the US. And even if it wasn't a net-positive, it still reduces the effective milage of the trip by 2-5 charge-miles/hour.

One advantage of this system is that it would tend to increase the dwell time inside the store ("we're getting free charging!") so people would tend to buy more stuff.

The problem is that electricity isn't free. Now, I'm going to take a lot of upper bound estimates here.

In CA, rates are something like $0.30/kWh (CA is an outlier in electricity costs, but it's where I live, so). So for a store to be able to eat the cost of the unmetered space, they need to make $0.30/hour more profit per-customer. As a lot of these places are operating under tiny margins (like 2-3% for stores like Walmart), that's about $17 revenue/customer-hour to make this fully pencil out. And that's assuming that every space that's charging is a customer in the store who might be buying things.

Now, to be a little more reasonable, the extra spending a customer might do at the end, trying to eke out another 5 minutes charging (people aren't rational here) is somewhat more likely to be on stuff that isn't quite as small a margin. Checkout candy bars are like 35% margin, so adding 1 candy bar/hour/space would make up that margin. And marginal profit is generally higher than average profit on anything at the store.

And if electricity prices drop to $0.15/kWh (like they are in Texas during on-peak, a rate which is falling as they add solar) on a store with 3% margin, you're starting to see costs at closer to $5 revenue/space/customer-hour. That might actually reach a level we could subsidize, especially when paired with wealthier customers buying higher-margin stuff.

We could also consider subsidizing it through encouraging stores to add solar. One panel produces something like 500W during daytime, so at two panels you're at net-zero during daylight hours even for 100% occupancy. I could imagine having a bonus subsidy for solar panels if you do 1 slow-charger / 4 panels, or something like that. You could even allow stores to only provide free slow charging during daylight hours, although that makes things less attractive for customers, and for the argument for switching to an electric car, that you can just charge in any parking lot.

Lastly, "free slow charging" is something that works a lot better in places where there is a certain degree of audience-captivity. i.e., paid parking garages. City parking lots could more easily spread out the rate increases to all the customers (which is the direction of the subsidy we want, anyway, right?). If you had a parking garage that advertised "free slow charging" on 20% of its spaces, it could increase the hourly rate by like $0.10/hour on all the customers and come out well-ahead. And for all-day garages, this is even better because you can (1) add $1/day which is a nice round number, and (2) the customers can get 20-30 miles of charge. (Now, this does mean that the garages would lose some customers to garages that don't do that, but this is one place where the subsidy comes in to get the transition in the first place). Movie theaters could also handle that through slightly higher ticket prices.

(Funny option for making the public happy if we do subsidize this: we do this via the car companies, who give the money to the big parking lots on the DL.)

Ultimately, this (free slow charging) is something that might ultimately be a viable option to speed the transition to electric vehicles. I feel like in 10 years, the regular charging network should be sufficiently built-out that we can probably figure out actual metering systems here, even for the slow charging ports. And electricity prices seem to be coming down due to the massive build-out of solar, wind (and hopefully nuclear).

We really need to speed the transition to electric vehicles as much as we can. As a thing developed countries could handle subsidizing for a couple years, adding out free slow-parking in big parking lots seems like something that might just be plausible.

Solar

Let's take a best-case scenario for solar power, near the equator. This maximizes the amount of power we can get from solar, but we still have one crucial problem. Inconsistent producion. It peaks at noon, and drops to 0 at sundown. The actual production graphs is probably a bell curve for the day time. So, with this, we need a method of storing the power. We do not have a good solution, at all. We don't have enough Lithium and Cobalt, in the world, (by current estimates), to replace our cars, nevermind everything else. Doing this for a large grid is suicidal. BUT, doing for a small grid makes sense. Solar power has the crucial advantage of being grid-independent. This means that a small grid, say an individual house, or a small community, could easily produce it's own power. This also has the advantage of creating a stable power supply in regions that have intermittent service. Say, if you are living in California. Or in an out-of-the-way reservation.

People assume that solar power is more sustainable, because it doesn't use fuel. This is a pretty reasonable assumption to make. The problem is that it has not proven to be true. Even in places like California, household solar power and storage systems are only competition with grid power rates with government subsidies and mandatory grid buybacks. Most of the houses have it's own solar and power storage. It's also equiped with a smart switch to decide when it's connected to a grid. So, the battery charges over the day until it's full, which is usually around or just after midday, and then the smart switch hooks it up to to the outside grid, and they get buyback. So, California only just get solar power throughout the day, but only through part of the day, completely variable based upon independent household usage. Just try to imagine balancing this over the day without any reasonable storage. As it is, California has not managed to get it to work. If they can't, then who can?

If we move away from the equator, we have another problem, Winter. Winter daytime production can be a fraction of what summer daytime can produce. Not even just because of reduced hours, but reduced sunlight during those hours.

Another, less well known problem with solar, is slower generation. It takes a lot more material and power making solar pannels than they produce, at least compared with every other form of power generation. Except maybe wind. This means that while we could scale up our solar production to meet our needs, we cannot do it on a reasonble time scale. It's impossible to replace our power generation with solar without going through something else.

There is another serious, crippling issue with solar power. Not so much with the solar power itself, (other than being vulnerable to environmental damage), we are clearing space for it. This is mind bogglingly stupid. We could instead be putting them on flat roofs, if you leave a space this could even shade the roof, dramatically reducing the heat exposure of the building while increasing the efficiency of solar pannels. We could also put them on the side of those incredibly ugly modernist skyscrapers. A huge amount of the glass on skycrapers isn't even useful. It's just there to make it look ugly and uniform. We can even put them over farm fields. This is called agrivoltaics. It turns out that most plants evolved to grow in partial shade. Too much sunshine, and they risk burning, and to avoid it they go through a LOT more water. By adding partial shade you dramatically reduce water usage and increase yield. Depending on the plant, of course. If we really wanted to be special, we could put agrivoltaics on the rooftop of our medium density mixed usage neighbourhoods. Green roofs dramatically improve the insulation.

Note: I'll deal with grid storage and solar thermal in a later post.

How to Sell Solar Panels Like Pro: 5 Easy Tips in 2024

Do you want to learn how to sell solar panels? With rising electricity costs and increasing awareness about renewable energy, there has never been a better time to start or expand a solar business.

Yet, many solar companies face difficulty in selling solar panels​; they struggle with things like understanding the needs of customers, finding the right audience, and building a brand/trust in a competitive solar market.

So, where and how do you identify the prospective solar buyers? What’s the best way to convince people? Should you tap into the offline market or use online channels? What follow-up tactics can actually work? How to sell solar panels to make more profit.

If you also have these questions in mind, in this easy-to-follow guide, we’ll talk about five simple steps to decode how to sell solar panels to make a long-term profit and provide answers to all your questions.

1. Research and Plan Your Approach for Selling Solar Panels

Identify Your Audience: You must start by identifying the specific customer types that will benefit from your services. For example, Households in the area with high electricity bills or people who rely heavily on air conditioning or other energy-intensive appliances. Another segment can be areas with low power supply/voltage or areas with more sunlight hours. If you cater to commercial solar leads, you can also make a list of businesses, schools, and hospitals that have high energy usage.

Assess Demand and Competition: After identifying the target audience, look for demand/trends in the solar market through various surveys. Learn the pain points of customers: better turnarounds, effective customer care, and provision of loans. Then, know your competition and get insight into competitor pricing, product or service range and quality, and how this range affects the market. Analyze their strengths and weaknesses and plan your strategy accordingly.

Understand Incentives and Policies: Be aware of the local incentives and policy measures that enhance the adoption of solar installations. For instance, net metering is a provision that enables solar panel proprietors to return some surplus energy they do not use back to the grid which in turn reduces their power bills. This is a big advantage that solar can offer both residential and commercial customers as it enhances the economic returns of solar power. Tax credits, rebates, and subsidy programs are other incentives that further reduce the cost of solar systems making it more attractive to investors.

2. Develop a Targeted Outreach Strategy

Create a targeted strategy for effectively connecting with different types of prospective solar customers. Create specific strategies for different locations, timing, and online channels. Here’s how to approach each area:

How to Sell Solar Panels: Easy Tips

Location-Based Approach: When selling solar panels, identify prospective customers in different locations and provide solutions for their needs. Also, seasonal or climate-related factors that affect energy needs should be considered. For instance, target battery backup users in areas with limited electricity access or low-quality supply (under 190V) to cut costs and enhance reliability. Target hot spots such as schools, hospitals, workplaces, or any other areas and offer them solutions to reduce their bill.

Timing is Key (literally): There are some basic principles of effectively selling solar panels during the period of which a potential customer is ‘caught’ for example, when he or she comfortably wants to pay the energy cost; it happens usually on certain days of the month which are also referred to as billing days to customers — normally between the seventh and fourteenth day of a specific month. This is because their minds are still fresh with the high electricity bills thus making them a bit receptive to the possibility of considering solar panels to cut their high energy costs.

Use Online Channels (make it social media): Online channels are also important in the process of selling solar panels. Active presence in social networks, and having a business website along with an informative blog help a lot for connecting with potential customers. With such channels, it is possible to provide useful content, display photos/videos of successful installations, and show pictures of happy audiences pleased with the solar offers.

3. Offer Solar as a Solution for Each Customer’s Needs/Problems

Matching Capacity to Need: In the case of clients wanting to use a battery backup system, recommend panels capable of charging their batteries completely within peak solar times. This may call for a panel that has about thrice the capacity of the battery in question, for instance, a 500W panel for a 150Ah battery to ensure that the client’s energy storage is efficient and lasts for longer periods.

Solutions to High Bills: Propose solar panels as a solution to your prospective customer’s high energy bills rather than a product to sell. Reach out to households using heavy equipment such as AC, dishwashers, Water heaters, and Electric ovens and show them a comparison chart between solar vs basic grid systems. Besides, suggest also those systems that are expandable which can be increased in size and power output if there is more energy requirement.

Weather and Geographic Considerations: Consider factors such as local weather patterns and sunshine availability; for example, in regions where there is a lot of cloudy weather, recommend high-efficiency panels or systems including batteries so that power availability does not suffer even when there are no effective sun rays.

Compatibility with Existing Systems: When a customer already has some of the features of sustainable energy sources in place for instance part of the solar system or even a wind turbine, suggest solutions whose components, such as inverters and hybrid designs that accommodate solar and other energy sources, are easy to attach to the existing system.

4. Build Trust and Credibility For Selling Solar Panels

Establish Your Presence: It can make people feel more secure when buying if they know that you have a physical store or office. Reliability — A brand that has been successfully installed elsewhere does not appear to be a risky choice. Companies that consumers can actually visit to are easy to trust and give a shot than others as they allow customers to handle the product and talk with employees on-location.

Essential Materials: Carry essentials that show your professionalism and competencies. This includes a company ID as well as business cards that provide customers with your contact information and professional identity. You can be a solar company storing, selling, and installing different types of panels as well to have the benefits. Also, if you have pictures or (better) videos of installations that prove your skill and competency, it will highlight the quality of work in potential buyers’ minds.

Encourage Testimonials: User testimonials, references, and case studies are influential ways to help build credibility. This Is Real Social Proof! Ask happy customers to leave reviews of their experiences online or provide testimonials that you can feature in your website and marketing materials. Highlighting a portfolio of your work in case studies can demonstrate positive outcomes for solar solutions.

Be Transparent: Share with your customer’s pricing, solar installation processes, and warranties with clear breakdowns and no hidden fees. It helps them to trust you and recommend your services to family and friends. Don’t forget to detail any financing options, local incentives or policies that may have an impact on their buying decision.

5. Follow Up and Maintain Customer Relationships

Follow-up: After installation, follow up with customers on a regular basis (e.g. after a couple of months when they have received their first few monthly electricity bills). EN Talking about the savings and having questions here is a good moment to do that.

Electricity That Costs Nothing—or Even Less? It’s Happening More and More. (Wall Street Journal)

Excerpt from this Wall Street Journal story:

Most people pay a fixed price for each kilowatt-hour of electricity they consume throughout the day. The price is set by their power company and only changes at infrequent intervals—once a week, a month or even only once a year.

Van Diesen, a software salesman, recently signed up to receive electricity from two providers that charge him the hourly price on the Dutch wholesale power market, rather than a fixed price that resets monthly or annually. When the price of electricity falls low enough, smart meters in his house begin charging his two electric cars.  

Wholesale prices swing wildly each hour of the day, and even more so as a larger share of electricity flows from wind and solar installations. Because the generation costs of wind or solar farms are negligible, market prices will be near zero when there is enough renewable power to cover most of a region’s electricity demand. 

Electricity market dynamics get weirder when renewable-energy producers don’t have an incentive to stop feeding power into the grid, usually because of government subsidies. Then grids can be flooded with excess power, pushing prices into negative territory.

Van Diesen said he’s made 30 euros, equivalent to around $34, over the past five months charging his car, enough to cover the service fee from his power supplier, a Norwegian company called Tibber.

“I’m charging the car for free,” said van Diesen, who is part of a group of clean-energy enthusiasts in the Netherlands who call themselves green nerds. “To me it’s also like a hobby and a game—how far can I go?”

Doing laundry in the evening? The electricity could be free a few hours later when demand dies down and the wind picks up. Likewise, in regions with lots of solar power, charging an electric vehicle in the morning is usually far more expensive than powering up under the midday sun—or whenever the price is right.

In the U.S., most states don’t currently allow such real-time pricing, but many think that will change. Already, in some of the world’s biggest economies from Western Europe to California, the occurrence of zero and negative wholesale power prices is growing fast.

Wholesale prices across continental Europe have fallen to zero or below in 6% of all hours this year, up sharply from 2.2% in 2023 and just 0.3% in 2022, according to data collected by Entso-E, the group of European transmission system operators. In markets with lots of renewable capacity, this year’s figure was higher: 8% in the Netherlands, 11% in Finland and 12% in Spain. Analysts expect those numbers will grow as more solar panels and wind turbines are installed.

The changes sweeping Europe’s electricity markets, which were accelerated by the energy crisis brought on by the war in Ukraine, show what could happen in the U.S. in a few years when renewable capacity reaches a similar scale. In 2023, 44% of EU electricity was generated by renewables, compared with 21% in the U.S.
