“Putting solar photovoltaics into cloudy cities is like putting wind turbines in places where there is little wind!” Quote by Steven Magee
“Solar eclipses are associated with changed health. After watching the cloudy ring of fire eclipse on 14th October 2023 I had changed health. I noticed a change in mental state and had a lowered mood in the hours afterwards. It was followed by a mild afternoon headache. The next day I had unusual digestive disturbances that felt like mild food poisoning.” UnusualHeadacheEclipseSolarFood PoisoningMental StateEclipsesRing Of FireDigestive DisturbancesLowered Mood Author:Steven Magee
“Modern life seems to recede further and further away from nature, and closely connected with this fact we seem to be losing the feeling of reverence towards nature. It is probably inevitable when science and machinery, capitalism and materialism go hand in hand so far in a most remarkably successful manner. Mysticism, which is the life of religion in whatever sense we understand it, has come to be relegated altogether in the background. Without a certain amount of mysticism there is no appreciation for the feeling of reverence, and, along with it, for the spiritual significance of humility. Science and scientific technique have done a great deal for humanity; but as far as our spiritual welfare is concerned we have not made any advances over that attained by our forefathers. In fact we are suffering at present the worst kind of unrest all over the world.” ScienceReligionNatureEnvironmentSocietyHumilityFuture Book:The Training of the Zen Buddhist Monk Source: The Training of the Zen Buddhist Monk
“The solar industry has built the largest solar radiation monitoring system in the world. They call the large surges in solar radiation levels ‘The Cloud Effect’. It is far more extensive and is actually called ‘Environmental Lensing Of Solar Radiation’. The environmental solar lensing is known to overload solar power systems and blow fuses.” RadiationSolarOverloadCloudLensingSurgesBlow FusesCloud EffectEnvironmental LensingSolar Radiation Author:Steven Magee
“Net Metering in Maharashtra: How It Works & Why It Matters Net metering is one of the biggest reasons rooftop solar has become financially attractive in Mumbai. It allows homeowners, housing societies, commercial buildings, and industries to export excess solar power to the electricity grid and receive credits in return. How Net Metering Works When your rooftop solar system generates electricity during the day, your property first consumes that power. If your system produces more electricity than you use, the surplus is automatically sent to the grid through a bidirectional meter. This exported power is recorded and adjusted against the electricity you consume from the grid at night or during low-generation periods. At the end of the billing cycle, you are charged only for the net units consumed (import minus export). This significantly reduces your electricity bill.” SolarSolar PanelsNet Metering Author:Akash.B
