RE: Elon Musk Turning Homes Into World's Largest Virtual Power Plant @senseicat

I feel that there is a smart way and dumb way to use solar. The dumb way is to allocate hundreds of acres of real estate to solar farms. The smart way is to utilize existing space on rooftops or awnings to collect solar. In some cases there is too much solar and power needs to get dumped. This has happened a few times in California. The other smart initiative is providing storage during off peak periods during peak usage. Elon knows the correct way to collect and store power.

Elon is a visionary and commits to finding paths forward where others see obstacles. When making money in a venture is not the driving force, you can see how much advancements can be made. Everyone benefits from his ingenuity.
