I sell commercial solar arrays. I am proud as hell of making an actual, meaningful climate impact.

      Stay safe, at those temps depending on the humidity sweat might not be enough to cool you. Watch out for signs of heatstroke. It might be a good idea to go hang out at a mall or wherever else has ac if possible.

    It's ok, we'll just dial it up on the "crypto mining" to make up for it sadness-abysmal

    Congrats! I know you say commercial, but do you have any idea if there's anything to those scammy ads about the US government paying for residential installs?

      There is a 30% tax credit for all solar, including residential. It helps a lot, but any company that advertises that way is a scam. Find a local company that barely advertises. They'll be cheaper and probably do a better job.

    That's great! In South Africa we have 4000 Megawatts of solar power now, thanks to government incompetence with regards to rolling electricity blackouts/ load shedding. Though it's all private, so I fear that if (and that's a very big if) the government gets its shit together with electricity supply, some of it might be taken offline, especially in commercial applications where electricity from the government's coal plants might be cheaper. I think most home owners will keep their solar though, because electricity is expensive in price for ordinary people. So if they've invested in solar, there is no ways they're going back to expensive government supplied electricity.
