, a true climate champion, to talk about solar, storage, microgrids…all the good things. Rodgers made hay in the gaming world, helping bring Tetris to the world, and then turned his attention to exploring what else was happening in the world. And at one point, the newspaper in Rodger’s then hometown of Honolulu had a piece that said that we would more than likely, in our lifetime, see the end of coral reefs.
“HECO makes more money on renewables — by legislative design,” Rodgers said. “They were making 10% on top of the price of oil . We had to change that formula. It costs them 27c per kWh to produce energy with oil. Much of it from Libya, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. The price is now about half that for them to produce and store renewables….. This is the thing we need to have on every ‘island’ in the world is to align incentives with the utility.
Rodgers also took his ranch off grid with solar and batteries. The ranch is a fully functional microgrid. The ranch has Outbacks and Solarc inverters, but Blue Planet’s control software makes sure they work compatibly. The Lithium ferrous phosphate batteries Rodgers is using at his ranch are available through Blue Planet Energy, and come with a number of benefits. According to Rodgers, they’re safer. They don’t get hot, so there’s no cooling system required.
