ERCOT has too many grid-following inverters powering off their solar panels. They need to migrate to grid-forming inverters GFM to improve reliability when faults occur. As solar panels continue to improve on efficiency and lower prices with the addition of battery storage to handle peaking ERCOT will add more PPA and eventually stabilize pricing over the next ten years. Keep in mind some grids outside of ERCOT are seeing 163% overproduction on sunny days which they store on batteries for providing peaking power from 4-8pm. Without batteries, ERCOT cannot sell access power to other grids because they are on their own grid.
@@Carl_in_AZGoogle "eia power monthly" look at the maps. The details are in Chapter 6, 6.5 and 6.6. Texas is adding a lot of grid batteries. And of course, grid inverters need to move from we're a rounding error perspective, to we are the 500lb gorilla perspective.
why are ppa prices going down if my electric per KWH bill is going up, and texas's grid is even less reliable.
Inflation😂
