BLUETTI Solar+ Program

If you’re looking to save money by transitioning to solar energy and ensure your home is prepared for grid outages and extreme weather, BLUETTI has you covered. BLUETTI, one of the most trusted names in energy storage solutions, has announced the exciting launch of the BLUETTI Solar+ Program for Texas homeowners. The program encompasses a wide range of flexible solar and battery home power solutions designed to not only slash your energy bills but also propel your home into an era of clean and resilient energy. What’s more, with BLUETTI’s Solar+ Program, you get a free battery with your solar setup – an incredible savings to start your solar journey.

BLUETTI Solar+, which just launched on December 22, aims to revolutionize the adoption of solar energy in Texas by making it easy to do so: The program provides a seamless, cost-effective, and hassle-free way to transition to clean, sustainable power. Regardless of what you’re looking for – from achieving energy independence and off-grid solutions to reducing your energy bills – the BLUETTI Solar+ Program has a solution that can fit your needs.

One-stop solution: Pay for solar, get a free battery

One of the best aspects of the Solar+ Program is when you pay for your solar setup, you get a complimentary BLUETTI battery – which makes the transition to solar that much sweeter. Depending on which battery storage setup you choose, the idea works like this: The BLUETTI modular system connects to solar panels installed on your roof, stores and supplies that power, ensuring uninterrupted energy during outages, or powering your home at night or when you need it. The program is flexible and can be customized to meet your power needs, from cutting down on energy bills to supplying enough juice to run your indoor appliances during a blackout. That way your food stays fresh and your family can enjoy the comforts of home without stressful disruption.

Another exciting part of BLUETTI Solar+ is that homes that get abundant sunlight (and there’s a lot of that in Texas) can convert that surplus solar energy into a lucrative revenue stream. Homeowners can sell this surplus power to BLUETTI partners, making passive income from your free sunlight. It’s a win-win.

A stress-free and seamless transition to solar

One of the major sticking points for homeowners who want to convert to solar power is handling the bureaucratic paperwork, the complexities of deciding which system to use, and any number of cumbersome decisions and tasks that come with it. That is where BLUETTI Solar+ steps in, offering homeowners an easy way to go solar without the hassle.

How it works is that when homeowners opt for the BLUETTI Solar+ Program, they are guaranteed a hands-on, stress-free experience. For the initial consultation, BLUETTI’s energy consultants analyze your energy requirements, preferences, and site specifics, offering customized configurations for solar panels and battery storage systems. BLUETTI’s custom software provides a comprehensive mockup of what your home will look like with solar installation, so there are no surprises. Plus you’ll get a full overview of all the financial returns and backup power available from your solar battery system. Flexible financing options are also available. 

A BLUETTI Solar+ project manager will take care of all the details, from overseeing the design to handling permits to all of the paperwork completion, buildout, and troubleshooting. Installation usually takes about a day, and BLUETTI manages the inspector quality assurance to make sure everything is on track.

Meanwhile, you can sit back and enjoy peace of mind in knowing your home is prepared, more resilient, and ready for anything. Plus by going solar with BLUETTI Solar+, you’re not just saving money, you’re also actively contributing to a sustainable future and being part of the solution – and that is something Electrek readers care a lot about. Plus you get a free battery with your solar setup!

CNBC Daily Open: Tech sell-off? Investors could just be taking profit and enjoying the summer

CNBC Daily Open: Tech sell-off? Investors could just be taking profit and enjoying the summer

If you have any U.S. technology stocks in your portfolio (and let’s face it, who doesn’t?), you might want to look away.

For the second day in a row, tech stocks dragged markets lower, with the Nasdaq Composite slipping 0.67%. Juggernauts such as Apple, Amazon and Alphabet were more meh-nificent than magnificent, falling more than 1%.

Palantir — the standout S&P 500 stock, having more than doubled so far this year — had its sixth consecutive day in the red and lost its place among a ranking of the 20 most valuable U.S. companies.

While Palantir’s slide was partly triggered by a report from short seller Andrew Left’s Citron Research, which called the company “detached from fundamentals and analysis,” there was no single trigger for the broader pullback.

Investors could have been spooked by OpenAI CEO Sam Altman’s caution about an AI bubble forming, although some analysts dispute that assertion. “In our view the tech bull cycle will be well intact at least for another 2-3 years,” said Wall Street tech bull Dan Ives.

Or it could be something benign, like traders locking in profits. “Tech stocks,” said Carol Schleif, chief market strategist at BMO Private Wealth, “have had an incredibly strong run – with some up over 80% since the early April lows.”

Summer, after all, is far from over. Some investors might have just wanted to cash out for another round of margaritas.

Red carpet for Putin, trade relief for China, penalties on India: Inside Trump’s peculiar policy playbook

U.S. President Donald Trump is pursuing an unusual strategy — courting Russian President Vladimir Putin, holding fire on Beijing, all the while turning the screws on India.

Despite India being one of the earliest nations to engage in negotiations with the Trump administration, there is still no sign of it sealing a deal with America. New Delhi is now also staring at a secondary tariff of 25% or a “penalty” for its purchases of Russian oil that is set to come into effect later this month.

Trump likely to pick Kevin Hassett as next Fed Chair. The director of the National Economic Council firmly led the pack, according to a CNBC Fed Survey. However, respondents think the president “should” pick former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh.

No new solar or wind power projects, Trump says. Renewable energy projects will no longer receive approval, Trump posted Wednesday on Truth Social. His comment comes after the administration already tightened federal permitting last month.

Tesla offers used car leases with $0 down as it desperately tries move cars

Tesla offers used car leases with alt=

Tesla has started offering leases of certified pre-owned cars, which is relatively rare in the industry, with $0 down as it desperately tries to move vehicles before the end of the quarter.

With the federal tax credit for electric vehicles set to expire at the end of the quarter, automakers in the US are all trying to optimize EV sales, as demand is being pulled forward.

This also applies to used EVs, as the $4,000 federal incentive for used electric vehicles will also expire on September 30th.

Now, leasing used vehicles is much less common than leasing new cars, but some automakers, or mainly dealers, do offer it.

Tesla is getting into this business for the first time.

In California and Texas, Tesla is now offering leases on certified pre-owned (aka used) Model 3 and Model Y vehicles.

These are reasonably priced and can be as low as $215 per month with $0 down for a 24-month lease and 10,000 miles per year.

Tesla also offers a 12-month lease and up to 15,000 miles annually. While there’s no down payment needed, there’s an “Acquisition Fee” of $695.

That, and the first month, is all you need to get in a used Tesla for the next year or two.

This is undoubtedly the cheapest way to get into a Tesla vehicle right now.

Tesla is trying to sell as many vehicles as possible in the US this quarter, as demand for EVs has been pulled forward due to the end of the tax credit. This is expected to result in a record quarter in the US, but it also going to create a few difficult ones in the future.

With demand being pulled forward and future buyers feeling like they missed out on EV discounts, the US EV market is expected to experience a significant slowdown over the next 12 to 18 months.

Tesla sales are down about 13% globally so far this year. While this quarter is expected to be better, many analysts still anticipate Tesla’s year-over-year performance to be down.

This year alone, Tesla added more than 50,000 electric vehicles to its inventory.

Used cars have also been piling up.

Tesla owners rushed to sell their vehicles as Tesla’s brand perception dived following its CEO’s involvement in politics.

We previously reported that the average used Tesla sale price has recently dipped below the overall average used car sale price in the US.
