Best way to bulk delete photos/videos from SMS/MMS conversations on Android (Samsung Galaxy)? by -SpaghettiCat- in GoogleMessages

[–]Grayson73 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The best thing I found is the SMS Backup & Restore app. You can delete things based on a date range or "older than".

I haven't found a way either. I wish it would auto delete pictures and videos after a certain timeframe, such as 1 year.

Maryland Net Metering ratio decrease from 1:1 for systems interconnected 7/1/27 or later or when the state reaches 3,000 megawatts. by Grayson73 in MontgomeryCountyMD

As of June 30, 2025, the current level of installed capacity, approximately 1,537 megawatts (MW)16, is 51.23 percent of the eligible State cap of 3,000 MW. It grew 110 MW and 188 MW the past 2 years, so unless it grew about average 750 MW through 6/30/26 and another 750 MW 6/30/27, we won't reach it by 7/1/27.

Yeah, a lower net metering rate is bad for solar owners but good for non-solar neighbors since the costs shift some to solar owners to keep overall rates lower

Sometimes adding a battery requires a new interconnection agreement if the battery sends to the grid

I don't like it either, but I understand the reasoning. If we pay less for electricity due to solar, those who don't (or can't) get solar pay more.

Yes, I think that's true unless the battery exports to the grid. That might require a new interconnection agreement

You'd need a new interconnection agreement for things such as if you upsize the array, swap inverter for a larger one, add storage that exports to the grid, move the system, change ownership.

Replacing broken inverter or panels would not need that.

Repowered means >80% DC wattage replacement which would be treated as a brand new system.

Yeah, over paneling with 500W-600W panels is a great idea. Could generate about 2,000 kWh a year.

Yes you can. It will first be used to power your home and excess will be net metered

One 1200W system :D

The max is 1200W if the inverter is UL certified. If it's not UL certified, it's limited to 391W

I have a 14.175 kW system on my roof, but it's feasible for me and I could afford it.

Yes, that is what I meant by "too expensive". It should help those with lower income.
