China’s coal power fell 4.7% YoY in Q1 2025, even as electricity demand rose 1.3%. Renewables picked up the slack—hydro surged, and 39.6 GW of solar was added in Jan–Feb alone, making up 74% of new capacity. Clean energy is no longer a backup—it’s now leading the charge.

Live in the UK? wonder why your energy is so expensive?
It's the gas innit.
Especially gallling at a time when right wind demagogues are telling people it's the "green crap" that's pushing their bills up.

FAQ: https://shkspr.mobi/blog/solar-faq/
Trying to figure out why the set of solar panels is generating significantly less than their theoretical maximum.
We have two panels rated for 100 watts and one panel rated for 400 watts. The 100 watt panels run at 48 volts; the 400 watt panel runs at 57.6 volts. We have them combined with a 3-into-1 merger. The combination is producing only about 250 watts. Running the 400 watt panel alone is producing 350 watts, so there's something about running them together that's limiting the power production.
Anyone have any idea of what's causing the bottleneck? I feel like there's an interesting explanation but I don't know what that might be.
Innerhalb von gut fünf Wochen haben wir mit unserer PV-Anlage bereits eine Megawattstunde Strom produziert.
