A massive eruption of solar material, known as a coronal mass ejection or CME, was detected escaping from the Sun at 11:36 p.m. EDT on March 12, 2023. Even though the CME erupted from the opposite side of the Sun, its impacts were felt at Earth.
CME Director Bruce Mountain calculated Australian homes with rooftop solar panels and a Tesla Powerwall 2.0 are cost-competitive against grid power sources.
