Solar changes that. It decentralizes power, putting the power back into the hands of the people. It's less taxing on the grid and paves the way for a more sustainable future. Despite attempts by power companies around the nation to stop net metering and hinder solar growth, solar is still expanding. The quarterly SEIA/Wood Mackenzie Power & Renewables U.S. Solar Market InsightTM showed that in Q3 2021, the U.S. solar market increased by 33 percent (the largest Q3 on record).

Data Aggregation at Light SpeedThe landscape for storing and processing data, especially in the solar power and home device industry, has shifted dramatically in the last couple of decades. With the expansion of internet connectivity and cloud storage, new smart home devices are constantly sharing consumer information to the cloud. The advent of technology (e.g., Kafka) for handling high-volume data streams--with near real-time latencies--has enabled the rapid aggregation of collected data that can automate business processes and predictions. The potential of rapid data collection and aggregation is Steven KingIN MY OPINION
