I wanted to understand the optimal quantities of solar overbuild and battery backup for loads of arbitrary capex ($/kW) and utilization. Summary plots below.
Unsurprisingly, there are two stable attractors: cheap loads, intermittent operation, no batteries, and expensive loads,... See more
Btw I wrote about Linear's engineering culture in more detail earlier in @Pragmatic_Eng. You can read the full deepdive here: https://t.co/7m8aVNDD2U https://t.co/1b6fosmry8
