- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 5 days ago:
The article is focusing on California as an example so that doesn’t seem entirely necessary but you could look to Norway to discover how they deal with this:
Vertical Panels are one solution as are Snow Repellent Panels and heated solar panels

Beyond simply the headline, the first two paragraphs from the article directly address this and site their source ( mentioned quoted above ) which further addresses the issue you are mentioning.
- Comment on California just debunked a big myth about renewable energy 5 days ago:
From the scientific journal directly sited in the article :
It’s true that solar energy is only produced when the sun is shining on solar panels. Likewise, wind energy is dependent on the ebb and flow of air currents. But the sheer volume of renewable energy being deployed, the ability to store that energy for longer, and to match demand with supply using software, creates a balanced grid.
According to BloombergNEF, lithium-ion battery cell densities have almost tripled, and costs have declined by almost 90% in the past decade – making it easier to smooth out the peaks and troughs of generation to meet the shifts and cycles of demand. Renewable energy sources themselves have dropped by as much as 82% over the same timeframe. Further improvements to both generation and storage will continue driving down costs, making renewable energy even more attractive to consumers.

- Comment on In the California desert, residents are struggling with the influx of massive solar projects 3 months ago:
Thank you for a reading the article and responding with substance from it that considers what it instead of being dismissive. These projects are far from perfect.

As a moderator of this community I need to remind you that non-constructive personal criticisms like this are in appropriate and go against the ethics and guidelines of this instance, let alone Lemmy. Honestly.

Thanks for clarifying that. That publication can be prone to clickbait style headlines it seems but they also publish some good information overall and I thought it was worth noting

- Comment on Your future air conditioner might act like a battery 5 months ago:
While it uses water for cooling, it says nothing about adding moisture to the air. It does mention removing moisture from the air, though
Blue Frontier’s cooling units pass a stream of air over a thin layer of the desiccant, which pulls moisture out of the air. That dry air is then used in an evaporative cooling process (similar to the way sweat cools your skin).

Thank you. This has been addressed by previous commenters.

Thanks for catching that. Unfortunately seems fairly common with a lot of these projects for “new” technologies ,sometimes due to funding.

“attracting” companies like Intel that are on the BDS boycott list is not really a good look for Linux.
- Comment on Does New York's 'rooftop solar gap' leave low-income residents behind? 9 months ago:
It’s a bit more complex than that.
Per the report, New York homeowners with an annual income of more than $50,000 are 2.5 times more likely to have rooftop solar than those making below $50,000, as those making below $50,000 often don’t pay enough income tax to fully claim the credit. Households making less than $50,000 annually make up 24% of owner-occupied houses in New York, but have only received 5% of residential tax credit subsidies.
You are correct under ideal conditions in that
The report also found that refundable tax credits could help shorten the gap. Refundable tax credits could help up to 63% of New York’s 1.4 million “energy-burdened” households and could cut the cost of solar for the average low-income household by 48%, from $98 to $51 per month.
Unfortunately, however
Around 25% of all New York homeowners make less than $50,000 a year, the report said, but they only installed 10% of solar projects between 2010 and 2022. However, solar installation rates do not increase as homeowner income does – households making $50,000 to $100,000 have the same installation rates as households making more than $200,000.
