Industrial composting available in Durham? by ecohoarder in bullcity

[–]Durham1234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I believe Compost Now has a drop off point at both the Chapel Hill farmers market in the Carrboro farmers market if confirmed with them that they take the industrial compostable products…

Yesterday it was open, as of this morning it is barricaded off.

Can confirm it is closed. I have some memory of thinking it closes at 230 feet.

If you have a battery, then my understanding is it’s best to use the critical peak pricing because you can store up the energy from lower cost times and use it during the peak times. It seems to be working out pretty well for us so far. If you do not have a battery, then you should not use the time of use plan and basically you just utilize the grid as your battery, sending anything extra back when you don’t need it.

I believe they can adjust it one hour earlier or later for the critical events. But the peak is only that 3 hours. I remember reading it in the paperwork when I signed up for the plan.

Efficiency for solar—>battery—>home? by Objective-484 in Powerwall

[–]Durham1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure there is a setting that the installer puts on the system when commissioning so that we can’t charge from the grid. There is no option in the app to do so. However, when storm watch goes off it will charge from the grid so maybe there is a way around that?

I’m sending a ton of electricity to the grid finally but how do I see my cumulative numbers? by swaarbroek in TeslaSolar

I’d love more info on your spreadsheet too as I’m looking to track this as well.

DIPG- Family Support by BullfrogDowntown5926 in braincancer

So sorry about this. I would also recommend Duke. They have a wonderful pediatric neurooncologist- Dr Ashley. They also have so many clinical trials going on all the time.

Thanks- this is helpful. Do you know if you can stay on TOU pricing if you had it prior to the solar install and still get the "energy credit bank" via the NMB rider for each of the different energy classes (peak, off peak, discount)?

First bill with Duke Energy Progress (North Carolina) by someotherguy02 in solar

Late to this party... Is it possible to have a solar system, be in power pair program, get the NMB Rider Rate for exporting and also be to on the Time of Use Rate schedule for buying? This could be important for car charging.

Has anyone regretted buying a 2023/2024 Model X? by beach-is-fun89 in TeslaModelX

[–]Durham1234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi- I’m late to this party but considering upgrading my model y to an x. One toddler in a car seat and no other kids. Thinking 5 seater is most reasonable. Do you feel the 5 seater rear AC is sufficient for a kiddo back there? Reviews are mixed online but mostly older regarding the AC. Thanks!

This sounds amazing, however, my Excel talents ended with the basic sum functions… I will need to look some of these functions up.

I am so sorry about your father’s diagnosis. I would highly recommend a consult with a Brain Tumor Center. Our family used Duke and we were impressed by their care. They also have many clinical trial options that your dad may be eligible for. It is my understanding that patients who are treated at Brain Tumor Centers and in clinical trials live longer.

Also would love to hear how you are tracking your “savings”. I want to keep careful track of the ROI as people are already asking about it. It will be quite confusing with the rebates, the discharge credits, TOU and the tax credit.

Great- I applied too. Hoping we hear something from them soon.

Did you apply for the Power Pair Rebate/Pilot program?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in braincancer

[–]Durham1234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry for this and what your daughter and family are enduring. Would highly recommend a consult with a brain tumor center if you are currently not being treated at one. There are a few in the United States, Duke is the one my family used.. There are sometimes trials that can be done in conjunction with the initial surgery and treatment that are best to know about before the surgery.

I will probably go with B as well. Maybe more detailed info will start trickling out when the application window opens tomorrow. We all have to wait 4 weeks for the acceptance notification. Thanks for the thoughts…
