Comment on Rooftop solar eats up all demand in South Australia, world’s most renewable grid
SnipingNinja@slrpnk.net 1 year agoI wonder how much effect reduced transmission is having on various things like efficiency because you’re using most of the energy where it’s being generated.

It’s definitely more efficient to use energy close to where it’s generated although I’m not sure by how much.

I think the answer is very complex and will depend on many factors.
It kinda becomes irrelevant if you’re comparing solar to coal or something anyway. Who cares if solar is “inefficient” if you’re replacing coal
