Seems like it would work? 00:54:19 Ed N: Are you familiar with GismoPower? 00:54:29 Jennifer N, Third Act NJ: Is there a minimum number of hours of sunlight required to make these economical? 00:55:40 Joanne K.: How much energy does one of the batteries hold? 00:55:59 Allen S: Do balcony panels get stolen? 00:58:24 Jana: We installed (our electrician installed) the ecoflow battery w a solar panel. Haven’t tried the solar panel yet, so it seems legal in NJ 00:59:44 Jeff P: Balcony solar on sale at IKEA in Germany: Balkonkraftwerke | 15% Rabatt für IKEA Family - IKEA Deutschland https://www.ikea.com/de/de/energy-services/plug-in-solar/ 01:00:41 Jeff P: U.S. market for solar photovoltaic plug-and-play systems https://www.appropedia.org/U.S._market_for_solar_photovoltaic_plug-and-play_systems 01:02:22 Jeff P: Another supplier: Plug and Play Solar – pluggedsolar https://pluggedsolar.com/ 01:02:29 Howie S: When I put in my roof top system the public utility didn't want me to turn it on until until they put in a meter that read what I put out and as a separate item what I was using. My solar paid off in less than 5 years. I now pay $6 most months 01:05:57 Nadine S-Hillsborough: Reacted to "When I put in my roo..." with ❤️ 01:06:09 Joanne K.: Yes 01:06:29 Jana: Reacted to "When I put in my roo…" with ❤️ 01:06:50 Karen S: Enphase has a solar panel which can power the back up generator . 01:08:10 Sarah F: Wrt NJ, I’m not sure new systems get full net metering. 01:09:40 Jeff P: Dan, we should talk. I’m leading the balcony solar efforts for the SF Bay Area Working Group of Third Act. jperrone@well.com 01:09:54 Jeff P: Have to leave for another meeting now, unfortunately. 01:11:35 Michael W: I dont think what Dan said about just go ahead on a net metered tariff is correct - just a caution - since under the net metering tariff you cannot net meter more than your usage so the utility could lower your net metering usage ?? 01:12:16 Jennifer N, Third Act NJ: thanks so much for all the rich info! 01:12:39 Sarah F: Reacted to "I dont think what Da..." with 👍 01:14:27 Nadine S-Hillsborough: I’m getting the $10,000 off a new heat pump, PSE&G decarbonization credit.

It’s replacing my 19-year old heat pump, which has served us very well. 01:29:41 Sarah F: Wow. 01:29:51 Jana: Replying to "I’m getting the $10,…" This was great. Thank you! 01:31:29 Paul Y: FYI Weil-McLain is making a new air-to-water heat pump called the Eco-Hybrid. The HP acts in concert with a home gas boiler, taking over during milder temperatures. It’s well-suited for retrofitting homes with hydronic baseboard heating. I believe I’vm getting the first NJ install; After extended discussion, Orange Rockland Electric agreed to provide a customized decarbonization rebate for this new system. If anyone is interested, I can share or present on this process. 01:31:43 Jana: Replying to "I’m getting the $10,…" Jim Farrell (All Seasons) installed ours last year and we were very happy w him. 01:31:44 Ed N: What are the warranties on the equipment? 01:32:31 Karen S Third Act: Thank you! 01:32:46 Nadine S-Hillsborough: Thanks so much to all the presenters today! 01:32:49 Jana: Reacted to "FYI Weil-McLain is m…" with ❤️ 01:32:55 Sarah F: Paul - Where are you in the state? 01:33:15 Paul Y: I am in Closter NJ - Bergen County 01:33:44 Paul Y: https://www.weil-mclain.com/eco-hybrid-heat-pump-system/ 01:33:46 Peggy M: Excellent presentations!
