DER Task Force

I walked into the office this AM to my team @TheDavidEnergy testing our “permissionless” batteries. An off grid @DER_Task_Force episode with @JigarShahDC and @timothyhade right in the center of NYC. No permits required!!! @duncan__c @cmetelitsa

It’s like Davos but you own things and are actually happy.

“This is so crazy to say, but I feel like this is one of my favorite New York shows we’ve ever played.” After DERVOS last year we threw an off-grid solar/battery powered concert featuring @notionofanguish. Can’t wait to do DERVOS and a music festival again in 2025. Stay tuned.

DERVOS 2025 announcement coming very soon. We have a really crazy event in the works this year. Keep an eye on @DER_Task_Force and your inbox. Last year it sold out quickly.

I've been diving deep into the electricity sector recently. It is abundantly clear to me that we are facing unprecedented load (demand) growth, but our existing systems are failing to keep pace. This quote from the latest @DER_Task_Force pod sums up the situation perfectly. "I…

The materials for solar panels are insanely more abundant than they want you to think.

We are way closer to Type 1 than you think. Silicon photovoltaics and lithium ion batteries ARE the miracle technologies that people dreamed about since we first understood the magnitude of the Sun’s power. We’re now producing them at terawatt and terawatt hour scale. Sunlight…
