I suspect it’s because most of the solar is behind the meter like residential/commercial rooftop installations. It’s harder to divert that production into grid scale batteries.
This is the new England grid North of New York today:
Light yellow is behind the meter, dark yellow is grid scale
Solar. The labels are not super helpful on that screenshot, but you can go to the website and see the graphs in greater detail. Plus at this moment, you’ll be able to see the battery discharge stats.
On the other hand they’re fighting the HDMI forum to get open source drivers released for hdmi2.1 120hz, vrr, HDR, 4:4:4, etc.
I’ll just leave this here, in case there are some other electric grid nerds out there: https://www.gridstatus.io/trends?period=year&metric=battery-discharge
Really neat site with nearly real time data.
I mean you can just put a grow light bulb into a normal desk lamp, and it’ll work just fine manually (no smart bs to deal with).
Well except the southern cross constellation in the 4 o’clock position from the NATO star. That’s definitely southern hemisphere.
