Transmission, distribution, and the clean energy transition
As the world makes a push towards the Great Reset, there is considerable talk about powering our future with renewable energy (RE). However, the allure of harnessing the wind and sun as sources of sustainable source of energy is not new. In 1931, Thomas Edison told his friend, Henry Ford, "I''d put my money on the sun and solar energy.
Grid Voltage Rise Is Getting Worse And That''s A Problem For Solar Owners
Thanks mike. My street has more than 25% solar. I also tried calling the power company. They sent a guy out in the evening and said all is in spec! At that point it was easier to get my supplier to fix it. Never had a problem since. More than a year now. I …
