Hey folks, popping over here to ask for help! I need recos for true insulation pros in the Bay Area. About to replace the roof on my 1900 house. I have had 5 cos out so far and none seemed to truly know how best to do the work. I want someone I can feel confident in.
If you are in a state with a backlogged queue, group studies are likely under consideration. But are they a good fit? Check out our new paper that looks at when to use them and how!
As an increasing number of #DER projects seek to interconnect to the #grid, the #interconnection process has slowed in many states. Our new report provides guidance on the use of “group studies,” an emerging practice to streamline the process: irecusa.org/resources/thinki…
Are you coming to the #IRECVisionSummit? Looking forward to spending a whole day talking about distributed interconnection challenges and solutions with solar and storage advocates from across the US!
This #IRECVisionSummit 2023 panel will discuss solutions to some of the major barriers facing #interconnection today, with a focus on available & near-term actions that regulators, utilities, & #DER stakeholders can move to adopt in their jurisdictions: reg.eventmobi.com/irec2023/p…
Has any US utility deployed a true DERMS system across all or most of their system on a non-pilot basis? I want to see if the regulator has a use/performance monitoring plan.

I need to break the year into 4 sequential chunks based upon how load changes in CA. e.g. is it best to put June-Aug together, or say July-Sept? I need to do the same for a 24 hour load profile. What can I look at to best illustrate the load variations in CA in this manner?
Anyone who cares about clean energy deployment should care about interconnection. And most should probably also know a lot more about it.
In this great conversation with @johnffarrell, I had fun digging into why interconnection matters and some key ways to improve it.

The place in service requirements and the timing of the application windows are also a classic formula for interconnection backlogs by forcing many projects to apply in limited windows.

Heat pump?: I live in a 6 unit apartment building in SF. The units have a hodgepodge of heating solutions, none keep the flats that warm, and some are downright cold. One of my neighbors has finally had enough of being cold 🥶 and is pushing the landlord for a solution. 🧵
Is there a case to make with the current incentives that she should consider installing a heat pump (either for just the upstairs unit that has the worst heat, or for the whole building)? What could I do to persuade my landlord? Is there any way this pencils out for her?
It’s true, heading to Denver tomorrow morning! I have a bit of free time on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon, I hope to see as many of you as possible.

While I do love to vent about interconnection with #energytwitter, really I am here mostly for weather twitter.

Ah, I may have figured it out and it is creepy. A friend asked me to pick up perishable dog food that was being delivered to her house when she was out of town. After I picked it up last night I started getting ads for that very same dog food delivery service. …
