The Hawaiian Electric Company is providing a one-time battery incentive program for Oʻahu customers with solar panel roofing.
Unused energy will be stored in the batteries, and any extra electricity stored in the battery that is not used in the household by evening will be sent to HECO during the hours of 6 p.m. to 8 p.m.
Fantastic Visualization Shows What Would Happen if you Dropped a Ball Across the Solar System -
Summertime means it's time to play ball! But what would it be like to play ball on various locations across our Solar System? Planetary scientist Dr.
The animation shows a ball dropping from 1 kilometer to the surface of each object, assuming no air resistance. You can compare, for example, that it takes 2.7 seconds for a ball to drop that distance on the Sun, while it takes 14.3 seconds Earth.
Activity Observed on Newly Discovered Visitor to the Outer Edges of Our Solar System

A newly discovered visitor to the outer edges of our Solar System has been shown to be the largest known comet ever, thanks to the rapid response telescopes of Las Cumbres Observatory.
How to Set Up a Simple Solar System - One Green Planet
Solar power systems are becoming simpler ( or more complicated if you prefer ) and cheaper as the years pass. There are, of course, large-scale, grid-tied home systems that are a popular way to get tax write-offs and participate in the green energy movement.
The large systems with lots of panels, gadgetry, shut-off switches, and up-front expense are great for drastically reducing electric bills and becoming a little more power conscious.
Explainer: Here's what solar storms do to Earth - The Washington Post
Last week, a small viral story appeared in corners of the Internet, warning of a disaster originating from beyond Earth. On Instagram , the now-viral warning was that "a massive solar storm heading toward Earth could affect GPS, Internet and satellites.
While alarming, the story was false. NASA reported a large solar flare July 3, which did cause radio blackouts, but that has long since passed the planet. This Tuesday probably will come and go with radios, satellites and the Internet intact.
This Raspberry Pi Pico Solar System Display is Far From Orrery | Tom's Hardware
The idea was to create an independent device capable of displaying the solar system data in real-time with or without an internet connection. To make this possible, it requires an RTC module which the Pico checks to calculate the planetary locations.
If you take a look at the demo video shared by Dr2mod, you'll see eight planets moving about a designated path. If you look even closer, you'll spot the former planet Pluto off to the side, helping the clock keep track of seconds.
Should You Buy Out a Solar Energy System Lease? | Real Simple
Leasing a residential rooftop solar energy system can allow those who are cash-strapped to make the shift to a more eco-friendly power source, but leasing also has drawbacks. Here's why you might want to end your lease early.
Installing a rooftop solar system is one of the most effective ways homeowners can proactively help address the worsening climate crisis. Generating energy from solar results in zero greenhouse gas emissions and zero environmental impact, which, to state the obvious, is a win-win for the planet.
Bezos' space launch is about a 'larger vision of opening the solar system'
PETER GARRETSON: You know, wow. You know, those of us who are space enthusiasts have been waiting for something like this for a very long time, and it's just wonderful to finally see it happen.
ADAM SHAPIRO: Peter, so what happens next? I mean, the excitement OK, been there, done that. The next step is a private company into orbit, which SpaceX has already done but it's going to be a while before Blue Origin gets there. So all attention on Mr. Musk?
Common Questions About Commercial Solar Energy | Mile High CRE
An increasing number of businesses are boosting cash flow while also differentiating their business. They are investing in solar to capture waning tax benefits, reduce operating expenses (OpEx), and meet environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria.
A typical 200-kW commercial solar system in Xcel Energy's Colorado territory breaks even in 6-8 years, then provides 22-24 years of pre-paid clean energy.
