Thank you.  It's good to hear from you again.
. . . Solar + Storage prices are coming down within reach.
. . . I'm ready to get a system this year.

24M, a startup company in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
. . . formed in 2010 by Dr. Yet-Ming, and
. . . a group of researchers at MIT.

Their new battery, has:
. . . 5 times the storage capacity,
. . . 5 times faster Manufacturing Times,
. . . 1/10 the investment of a conventional plant,
. . . plant scaleable cost effective even at low-volume production,
. . . the most easily recycled lithium-ion cell ever made,
. . . can slash the price of batteries by 50%.

Samsung researchers have developed a new technology,
. . . that enables them to coat silicon battery cathodes with high crystal graphene,
. . . (virtually) doubling:
. . . . . . the capacity of lithium-ion batteries, and
. . . . . . the range of electric vehicles,
. . . . . . without adding a single pound of weight.

Tesla Gigafactory is actually ahead of schedule.

Tesla Model X production line has 3–4 times more robots than the Model S production line,
. . . increasing the financial efficiency of its vehicles,
. . . should also be more standardized, and with fewer faults as well.

South Australia, tenders are being called for battery storage,
. . . to be installed in up to 9 government buildings,
. . . that already have solar arrays, including:
. . . . . . Parliament House,
. . . . . . Art Gallery,
. . . . . . State museum,
. . . . . . State library,
. . . . . . Railway station, and
. . . . . . Various schools.

Energy storage has been described as the missing link of solar energy adoption.
. . . A report from Deutsche Bank this year said,
. . . solar energy storage would be cheap enough to be deployed on a large scale,
. . . within 5 years as a result of a yearly cost reduction of 20% to 30%,
. . . in the price of lithium-ion batteries.
The main purpose,
. . . is to reduce people’s electricity bills,
. . . to charge up during the day when it’s sunny,
. . . discharge it in the evening when people are using power.
