Percentage wise,it depends what is called “nicely profitable”,but in business,I wouldn’t call it that.In fact it’s quite a long way off.Then there was the added cost of the upgrade.Quote:

Tesla guarantee 80% in 8 years for cars but I don't know about Powerwalls.
One thing Tesla is good at is battery design , control and most important cooling.
****house at building cars.

Oh well, profitable, nicely profitable, it seems their case for justifying it is still sound. From a household perspective however it seems that batterys are not profitable. Batterys I think are typically warranted for 10 years and I can only assume the SA Tesla battery would be at least that. Assumptions hey, right! But all of that information is fairly predicatable.Quote:

Do they use PV to reflect the thermal energy towards the towers? PV on individual trackers in order to redirect the reflected heat to a tower? Or is the PV solar farm a separate entity entirely from the thermal plant?
PPA still to be signed. That'll be the milestone. Getting buy-in.
Sounds interesting on paper. Did a journal search for any technical analysis but couldn't find any. Any one got any links to any technical reports from the 6MWth (1.1.MWe) pilot plant in Jemalong? Jemalong CSP Pilot Plant – 1.1MWe | Vast Solar
Tesla Powerwalls are very popular in Australia.
BTW The Netherlands top the list because that is the port where they land for Europe.
