Want a low-tech way to combat Phoenix's heat? Plant more trees

Is 208 or 240 volts better for commercial EV fleet charging? I assume 240 means faster charging?

SRP's new Daytime Saver Pilot shows where the SW electricity market is heading. I will be curious to see if it becomes an option for solar customers to net meter on - it won't be lucrative but it avoids the complexity of demand charges and export rates.

When we ask people to make negligible changes, we waste an opportunity to ask for meaningful action and possibly reduce trust in future requests. – at Tempe, AZ

During SRP's all-time record peak hour yesterday, SRP's meters show that my rooftop solar contributed a net of 2.2 kWh to the grid (with our AC set to 73!).
