I’ve been waiting for this sort of ‘green’ incentive… 30% is making inroads to cut current costs whihc undermine the viability (long term) of home #batteries. From what I’ve read the current threshold is in the $300-$400 range per KWh. That would make a financially viable battery at $2,400 for a 6KWh battery - 30% discount won’t get it there yet unless production costs come down another 50% or so. But I’m sure we’ll get there in a few years.

In the meantime, we ought to legislate #EV to be #VtoL (Vehicle to Load) ready so that a charged up EV sitting in the garage can provide power to the house when solar panels aren’t active. Now that would be both a game changer in terms of Grid load and power generation as well as an added incentive to purchase an EV instead of an ICE vehicle.

Just some thoughts…

Firefighting #rotorcraft shortfall prompts Bell’s 214ST reboot: aviationweek.com/aerospace/air. Aerial #firefighting is an #aerospace niche but it is a critical one. Within that niche, #VTOL aircraft bring unique capabilities. They deliver water and retardant precisely, transport firefighters to remote areas, and perform aerial reconnaissance. VTOLs are essential assets for rapid response and effective wildfire management. 💪🚁 #aircraft #aviation #emergencymanagement #engineering #verticalflight
