Q Well, Nick, when you were, uh, out there shilling residential solar batteries or whatever it might be, what's the pitch?
A Resilience. So if you live in the East Bay and you know, you're, you're out in Dublin or Pleasanton and you live on a feeder line where you're getting 15 times a year, the power's going out because of a shutoff. You're like, I don't like that. I just lost 200 dollars worth of food in my fridge because I lost power for two days. So like, how do I solve that problem? Well, if I can put solar and storage on, great, I solve that problem. So it's resilience and it's bill savings. Um, The, the, the number of consumers we would engage with who are really focused first and foremost on why I want to be green was actually pretty low. That's a side benefit. And, you know, they want to talk about it, but really they're talking about as long as it does this first two things, you know, sort of the hierarchy of needs, uh, then I'm happy for it to be green. And maybe being green is why I might do it relative to putting a diesel gen set or a gas gen set. If the price is about the same.
