WEBVTT - The Business Behind Bidirectional Charging

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:03.640
<v Speaker 1>You're listening to Bloomberg Business Week with Carol Messer and

0:00:03.720 --> 0:00:08.240
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Quick Takes Tim Stinovic on Bloomberg Radio. Next guest

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.640
<v Speaker 1>comes courtesy of one of our technical directors here at

0:00:10.640 --> 0:00:15.240
<v Speaker 1>Bloomberg Radio, Sebastian Escobar. Yes, we listen to everybody on

0:00:15.280 --> 0:00:17.920
<v Speaker 1>our team. He read about an interesting startup that's already

0:00:17.960 --> 0:00:21.240
<v Speaker 1>raised millions of dollars and helped homeowners use evs as

0:00:21.280 --> 0:00:24.600
<v Speaker 1>backup power for their homes. This is innovative. Yeah, it's

0:00:24.640 --> 0:00:28.240
<v Speaker 1>called Decibel, And we got a Mark Andre Fourge, the

0:00:28.240 --> 0:00:31.120
<v Speaker 1>founder and CEO of the company. He's talking to us

0:00:31.120 --> 0:00:34.479
<v Speaker 1>all about how homeowners can use evs as backup power

0:00:34.640 --> 0:00:39.040
<v Speaker 1>for their homes. Let's talk about bi directional charging. Mark, Andre,

0:00:39.120 --> 0:00:40.720
<v Speaker 1>It's great to have you with us. He joins us

0:00:40.800 --> 0:00:43.879
<v Speaker 1>via zoom from Montreal. So, Mark, what's the problem that

0:00:43.880 --> 0:00:45.400
<v Speaker 1>this is trying to solve here? I mean, obviously it's

0:00:45.400 --> 0:00:47.159
<v Speaker 1>if your power goes out right, you can use the

0:00:47.159 --> 0:00:50.080
<v Speaker 1>big battery that you've got to continue to power your home.

0:00:50.440 --> 0:00:52.800
<v Speaker 1>But why is this so much more challenging than than,

0:00:52.960 --> 0:00:58.960
<v Speaker 1>you know, just simply flipping a switch. Well, you're absolutely right, Um,

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:02.680
<v Speaker 1>the second largest as a purchase for any family is

0:01:02.880 --> 0:01:05.640
<v Speaker 1>or car, and the car sets in the driving most

0:01:05.680 --> 0:01:08.720
<v Speaker 1>of the time. And right now California takes its Florida

0:01:08.800 --> 0:01:12.320
<v Speaker 1>with hurricanes, we have lots of blackouts. The concept is

0:01:12.400 --> 0:01:15.360
<v Speaker 1>very simple, how to use the energy from the ev

0:01:15.680 --> 0:01:18.840
<v Speaker 1>to power the home during a blackout. Already pay for

0:01:18.920 --> 0:01:21.399
<v Speaker 1>that energy, already pay for that ev so I want

0:01:21.440 --> 0:01:25.640
<v Speaker 1>to leverage it. It's looked at simples some papers. But

0:01:25.800 --> 0:01:28.840
<v Speaker 1>now we need to combine the technology from EVY that

0:01:28.920 --> 0:01:32.040
<v Speaker 1>is still in this infancy, and of course the world

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:36.240
<v Speaker 1>of regulation inside homes to make it universally compatibles. And

0:01:36.319 --> 0:01:39.120
<v Speaker 1>this is really what we have achieved with our disabled

0:01:39.280 --> 0:01:42.640
<v Speaker 1>technology and our disabled platform. We create a universally compatible

0:01:42.760 --> 0:01:45.000
<v Speaker 1>solutions that can take the energy from the EVY to

0:01:45.080 --> 0:01:47.480
<v Speaker 1>power your home during the blackout. So this is this

0:01:47.640 --> 0:01:50.760
<v Speaker 1>essentially you know people by generators right just in case?

0:01:51.160 --> 0:01:56.840
<v Speaker 1>Is this essentially kind of forward looking alternative energy generator?

0:01:57.120 --> 0:01:59.720
<v Speaker 1>Is that basically how we should look at it. I

0:02:00.000 --> 0:02:02.640
<v Speaker 1>think it's one of the use case. But Discabel is

0:02:02.680 --> 0:02:07.440
<v Speaker 1>a four in one device. We do much more than this.

0:02:08.000 --> 0:02:11.040
<v Speaker 1>The Discabel is a home energy stations. It's also your

0:02:11.040 --> 0:02:14.639
<v Speaker 1>solar energy, it's your blackout power using your EVY or

0:02:14.680 --> 0:02:18.519
<v Speaker 1>your stationary battery. It's also your home energy management system

0:02:18.560 --> 0:02:22.120
<v Speaker 1>all combined into a single unit. So not only we

0:02:22.160 --> 0:02:24.520
<v Speaker 1>can use we can charge your car fasters, we can

0:02:24.639 --> 0:02:26.520
<v Speaker 1>use the energy from the EVY to power your home

0:02:26.600 --> 0:02:28.840
<v Speaker 1>during a blackout, but also we can charge your EV

0:02:29.040 --> 0:02:32.360
<v Speaker 1>using your solar energy that so far is still free

0:02:32.440 --> 0:02:36.360
<v Speaker 1>and non taxable. Okay, So help me imagine what this

0:02:36.400 --> 0:02:38.520
<v Speaker 1>looks like here because you said it's also for use

0:02:38.560 --> 0:02:41.079
<v Speaker 1>for solar How do you how do you? How does

0:02:41.120 --> 0:02:42.919
<v Speaker 1>that work? I mean, is the idea that you have

0:02:42.960 --> 0:02:45.560
<v Speaker 1>a solar power You have solar panels at your home

0:02:45.639 --> 0:02:48.399
<v Speaker 1>and those charge your your e V and the EV

0:02:48.639 --> 0:02:52.400
<v Speaker 1>is that power station in your home. Absolutely correct. You

0:02:52.480 --> 0:02:54.640
<v Speaker 1>put solar panel on the roof of your home and

0:02:54.680 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>it's going to generate absolutely enough energy to charge your

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:00.399
<v Speaker 1>EV and some leftover of the energy for your home

0:03:00.800 --> 0:03:04.399
<v Speaker 1>or vice versa. And the car here is used as

0:03:04.480 --> 0:03:08.640
<v Speaker 1>a battery to start this excess energy. Are for examples

0:03:08.680 --> 0:03:11.519
<v Speaker 1>to use this energy to reduce your energy invoice as

0:03:11.520 --> 0:03:14.880
<v Speaker 1>the time of high costs like dinner time, to use

0:03:14.880 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>your car as a battery, use seller to charge it,

0:03:17.560 --> 0:03:20.240
<v Speaker 1>reducing your costs and protecting your ast. So okay, so

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>it's not just for emergencies now, it's the idea is

0:03:23.200 --> 0:03:26.040
<v Speaker 1>to offset the higher costs that you have of power

0:03:26.120 --> 0:03:28.480
<v Speaker 1>to so it takes off the grid. So it takes

0:03:28.560 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 1>off the grid a little bit. Right, Well, it's it's

0:03:31.440 --> 0:03:35.280
<v Speaker 1>a combinations. It's a combinations. Right. The grid right now

0:03:35.360 --> 0:03:40.520
<v Speaker 1>require massive infrastructure investment. So we cannot go without the grid.

0:03:40.640 --> 0:03:44.120
<v Speaker 1>We we need the grid in in North America. Remember something,

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.920
<v Speaker 1>there's one billion dollars a day of fuel. Let's go

0:03:47.000 --> 0:03:50.960
<v Speaker 1>to the gas station every single day to power passenger car. Now,

0:03:51.000 --> 0:03:54.600
<v Speaker 1>imagine all those cars charging at home in the near futures.

0:03:54.680 --> 0:03:57.720
<v Speaker 1>In a decade or a decade or so, we're gonna

0:03:57.760 --> 0:04:01.840
<v Speaker 1>need major investment in a generation at the home levels.

0:04:01.880 --> 0:04:05.280
<v Speaker 1>This is where this about home energy stations makes so

0:04:05.360 --> 0:04:09.840
<v Speaker 1>much sense. We can differ infrastructure costs for the utilities,

0:04:10.080 --> 0:04:13.280
<v Speaker 1>luring the rates. Therefore leveraging your assets in the drive

0:04:13.360 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 1>ways enderating more clean energy and being more resilient energy. Mark,

0:04:17.920 --> 0:04:21.640
<v Speaker 1>doesn't this wear out the battery? Well, that's that's that's

0:04:21.640 --> 0:04:27.760
<v Speaker 1>the good questions. The answer is very likely. I can

0:04:27.800 --> 0:04:30.680
<v Speaker 1>say that to you. Well, it's very simples. When you

0:04:30.760 --> 0:04:33.159
<v Speaker 1>drive your cars on on on the highways right now,

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.279
<v Speaker 1>you're using your battery right now to move your cars

0:04:37.000 --> 0:04:40.120
<v Speaker 1>to power your home. It's impressive, but we only use

0:04:40.160 --> 0:04:43.000
<v Speaker 1>a fraction of that energy power to power your home.

0:04:43.160 --> 0:04:45.640
<v Speaker 1>It's funny, but it's take less energy to power your

0:04:45.640 --> 0:04:49.640
<v Speaker 1>home then pushing your t V on the highway. Therefore,

0:04:50.360 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>the usage of the battery is way less than driving

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>your car on the highway. And still it's to your

0:04:57.360 --> 0:04:59.960
<v Speaker 1>own benefits. Is to power your home during a blackout

0:05:00.120 --> 0:05:03.920
<v Speaker 1>is to reduce your energy invoice, and therefore it makes sense. Okay,

0:05:04.040 --> 0:05:05.880
<v Speaker 1>we sall have a bunch of more questions, which means

0:05:05.920 --> 0:05:07.720
<v Speaker 1>you can't go anywhere. We're going to come back and

0:05:07.760 --> 0:05:11.880
<v Speaker 1>continue our conversation. We are talking with Marc andre Fourge.

0:05:11.920 --> 0:05:14.799
<v Speaker 1>He's the founder and CEO of the Montreal, Canadian based

0:05:14.960 --> 0:05:17.200
<v Speaker 1>Decibel and we're going to continue this conversation because I

0:05:17.200 --> 0:05:20.240
<v Speaker 1>want to get into costs sustainability right like, I want

0:05:20.240 --> 0:05:22.800
<v Speaker 1>to see kind of the full loop when it comes

0:05:22.839 --> 0:05:25.360
<v Speaker 1>to sustainability. I want to get right back to our

0:05:25.360 --> 0:05:27.880
<v Speaker 1>guest still with us, as Mark andre four Je, founder

0:05:27.920 --> 0:05:31.599
<v Speaker 1>and CEO of the Canadian based Decibel UH he's with

0:05:31.680 --> 0:05:35.560
<v Speaker 1>us still via zoom from Montreal. Hey, um Mark, So

0:05:35.640 --> 0:05:38.760
<v Speaker 1>you're talking about what you guys are doing and these

0:05:38.800 --> 0:05:43.719
<v Speaker 1>home energy stations and basically you know, making it possible

0:05:44.000 --> 0:05:48.360
<v Speaker 1>to use your e V right to charge and power

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:52.320
<v Speaker 1>your home. Where are you? What's the growth of the business,

0:05:52.360 --> 0:05:56.520
<v Speaker 1>what's your plans for coming into the US market. Well,

0:05:56.560 --> 0:05:59.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm happy to announce that about two months ago we

0:06:00.080 --> 0:06:02.760
<v Speaker 1>US cuts or certification on our platform, one of the

0:06:02.800 --> 0:06:06.640
<v Speaker 1>most stringent certifications for our platform to allow us now

0:06:06.680 --> 0:06:11.400
<v Speaker 1>to communicate with utilities in real times. Following the certification

0:06:11.440 --> 0:06:14.120
<v Speaker 1>of this platform, later this false, we're gonna start to

0:06:14.400 --> 0:06:18.200
<v Speaker 1>roll out device and we're gonna start with California, following

0:06:18.279 --> 0:06:23.239
<v Speaker 1>by Texas, Florida, in New York. When when does that happen?

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:27.600
<v Speaker 1>So this fall. Later this falls, we're gonna announce different

0:06:27.600 --> 0:06:31.159
<v Speaker 1>pilot project and collaboration with different partners in California. So

0:06:31.200 --> 0:06:32.960
<v Speaker 1>the first unit is going to be delivery and owns

0:06:32.960 --> 0:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>in California this fall. Texas may follow in Quan with

0:06:37.200 --> 0:06:41.120
<v Speaker 1>Florida and Texas in Quan. Three Do utilities hate you though?

0:06:41.600 --> 0:06:44.520
<v Speaker 1>Because aren't you basically making it so? And forgive me?

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I go extreme occasionally, you know, aren't you making it

0:06:47.480 --> 0:06:50.080
<v Speaker 1>so individuals can kind of be independent? Right, there's solar

0:06:50.080 --> 0:06:53.159
<v Speaker 1>panels on your roof, it's recharging everything, and then they're

0:06:53.160 --> 0:06:54.880
<v Speaker 1>tapping into that power. I don't know what about that

0:06:54.920 --> 0:06:57.000
<v Speaker 1>Texas grid. It's it's you know, it needs all the

0:06:57.040 --> 0:07:01.279
<v Speaker 1>help get right. Yeah, you can be surprised that I

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:05.320
<v Speaker 1>still have friends in the in the utility business. The

0:07:05.360 --> 0:07:09.240
<v Speaker 1>fact is no, Uh, we may say a love eight relationship,

0:07:09.360 --> 0:07:12.960
<v Speaker 1>but most of the utilities really appreciate what disavel can offer.

0:07:13.160 --> 0:07:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Lets me explain, when the utilities want to interact with

0:07:17.440 --> 0:07:21.720
<v Speaker 1>homes today, nobody takes the call. There's no engineers, there's

0:07:21.760 --> 0:07:24.680
<v Speaker 1>no CFO at home right, So if the utilities want

0:07:24.720 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>to have the support of homes today to maintaining the

0:07:27.840 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>energy cost, a device need to exist inside your homes.

0:07:31.320 --> 0:07:33.920
<v Speaker 1>This is exactly what the disabled home energy station is.

0:07:34.080 --> 0:07:37.080
<v Speaker 1>So if the price of electricity go very high on

0:07:37.120 --> 0:07:39.560
<v Speaker 1>the market and they want to support and want to

0:07:39.600 --> 0:07:42.160
<v Speaker 1>give you back money, for example, to use a little

0:07:42.160 --> 0:07:45.280
<v Speaker 1>bit of energy from your ev the discavel and energy

0:07:45.320 --> 0:07:48.360
<v Speaker 1>station is going to basically automatically react to that call

0:07:48.600 --> 0:07:51.880
<v Speaker 1>and if you agree to it can push back energy,

0:07:52.120 --> 0:07:56.080
<v Speaker 1>reducing the stress on the infrastructures, reducing the energy cost.

0:07:56.160 --> 0:07:59.840
<v Speaker 1>This is really where the complimentaryy when the grid happen.

0:08:00.080 --> 0:08:01.880
<v Speaker 1>But wait, what am I missing? Because I'm just thinking

0:08:01.920 --> 0:08:06.520
<v Speaker 1>you're then taking essentially money away from a utility. No, right,

0:08:06.520 --> 0:08:08.760
<v Speaker 1>because you're not. Because you because it gives an individual

0:08:08.840 --> 0:08:14.240
<v Speaker 1>or a homeowner the ability to pop off the grid. Right. Well,

0:08:15.120 --> 0:08:19.040
<v Speaker 1>the price of electricity vary during the day, of course,

0:08:19.080 --> 0:08:21.520
<v Speaker 1>when you have a lot of for example, renewable generation

0:08:21.600 --> 0:08:25.640
<v Speaker 1>solar generation. At noon, the cost of energy on the

0:08:25.680 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>old sales market is quite low. However, at dinner time

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:31.480
<v Speaker 1>we all cook dinners, we have the path, we have

0:08:31.600 --> 0:08:35.080
<v Speaker 1>a high demand for electricity, putting the grid at stress.

0:08:36.520 --> 0:08:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Utilities want to try to level up or flat this curve.

0:08:42.280 --> 0:08:44.600
<v Speaker 1>This is exactly where the home energy station come at

0:08:44.640 --> 0:08:48.040
<v Speaker 1>play for them, right, use it and re resell it

0:08:48.160 --> 0:08:52.640
<v Speaker 1>at dinner time. Okay, let's talk Tesla here, because this

0:08:52.720 --> 0:08:55.920
<v Speaker 1>is a company that has a power wall. It's a

0:08:55.920 --> 0:08:59.040
<v Speaker 1>battery for your home. Got solar small part of the business,

0:08:59.040 --> 0:09:01.680
<v Speaker 1>to be sure, compared to the vehicles that it sells.

0:09:02.400 --> 0:09:06.000
<v Speaker 1>But what's going to stop Tesla from building exactly what

0:09:06.040 --> 0:09:09.440
<v Speaker 1>you're doing at decibel and including that as part of

0:09:09.440 --> 0:09:11.640
<v Speaker 1>a supercharger, because I look at this on your website

0:09:11.640 --> 0:09:14.360
<v Speaker 1>and it looks like it's a supercharger, But couldn't Tesla

0:09:14.400 --> 0:09:18.840
<v Speaker 1>incorporate the technology you have and therefore bleap frog you

0:09:19.040 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>bypass you? Well, we we share a common passion with

0:09:24.720 --> 0:09:29.720
<v Speaker 1>Tesla is to serve their homeowners with more cost effective,

0:09:30.000 --> 0:09:33.880
<v Speaker 1>renewable and relable energy. The difference is Tesla, of course

0:09:33.960 --> 0:09:38.400
<v Speaker 1>is virtically integrated to the Tesla technology, where decibel is

0:09:38.440 --> 0:09:44.199
<v Speaker 1>a universal for in one devices. We support all evs,

0:09:44.360 --> 0:09:48.280
<v Speaker 1>we support all solar installers, and we support multiple brand

0:09:48.600 --> 0:09:52.040
<v Speaker 1>of storage. So it's kind of an open eco system

0:09:52.120 --> 0:09:56.360
<v Speaker 1>versus a closed ecosystem maybe, but agree. The second point

0:09:56.559 --> 0:10:00.680
<v Speaker 1>is also we have seventeen families of patents that basically

0:10:00.720 --> 0:10:04.679
<v Speaker 1>passionately developed over the last seven years that also provided

0:10:04.800 --> 0:10:06.719
<v Speaker 1>we can build this disable at the price point of

0:10:06.760 --> 0:10:12.079
<v Speaker 1>the market. Compare today, what's the cost the cost for

0:10:12.320 --> 0:10:14.360
<v Speaker 1>right now the discable are sixteen. If you look at

0:10:14.400 --> 0:10:17.679
<v Speaker 1>our website at discabele dot energy, we this is an

0:10:17.760 --> 0:10:20.959
<v Speaker 1>upscale unit is designed for solar storage a V and

0:10:21.080 --> 0:10:24.480
<v Speaker 1>minds haunted us three thousand's per feet and up and

0:10:24.640 --> 0:10:28.400
<v Speaker 1>this unit if you fully install, is an average twenty

0:10:29.760 --> 0:10:35.160
<v Speaker 1>less expensive than the competitions. Why power of integrations we

0:10:35.320 --> 0:10:40.600
<v Speaker 1>mix four different I can say that four different use

0:10:41.080 --> 0:10:45.720
<v Speaker 1>solar bi directional EV charger, blackout power energy management into

0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:50.560
<v Speaker 1>a single box. That dramatically reduced the installation cost the

0:10:50.679 --> 0:10:53.320
<v Speaker 1>number of hacks that do be moved. That is the

0:10:53.360 --> 0:10:57.239
<v Speaker 1>power of integration. So and averagely to percent less expensive

0:10:57.440 --> 0:10:59.680
<v Speaker 1>than a comparable system by the competition. Two. Okay, so

0:10:59.720 --> 0:11:03.760
<v Speaker 1>what is cost? Give me real money here? Okay, So

0:11:03.960 --> 0:11:06.760
<v Speaker 1>the discabelue and its start at five thousand dollars and

0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.200
<v Speaker 1>after that the costs me very according to the number

0:11:09.240 --> 0:11:12.040
<v Speaker 1>of solar panels gonna put on your house, the installation costs,

0:11:12.040 --> 0:11:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and if you decide or not to put permanent storage

0:11:15.559 --> 0:11:18.719
<v Speaker 1>into your home, So a typical installation can go as

0:11:18.880 --> 0:11:21.320
<v Speaker 1>high as thirty thou dollars can be as low as

0:11:21.360 --> 0:11:24.760
<v Speaker 1>seven thousand dollars, according to your need, according what is

0:11:24.800 --> 0:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>good for your family. It does. But what is important

0:11:28.280 --> 0:11:33.480
<v Speaker 1>to remember here return and of an investment for your

0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>system is usually between three to five years, and this

0:11:37.280 --> 0:11:40.600
<v Speaker 1>system is designed to last ten to fifteen years, so

0:11:40.679 --> 0:11:42.680
<v Speaker 1>it's going to generate more money than you're gonna pay

0:11:42.679 --> 0:11:44.920
<v Speaker 1>for it. Are there any tax incentives in place now

0:11:44.960 --> 0:11:46.960
<v Speaker 1>in different states in the US or as part of

0:11:46.960 --> 0:11:49.319
<v Speaker 1>the Inflation Reduction Act that this afternoon was assigned into

0:11:49.400 --> 0:11:51.720
<v Speaker 1>law by President Biden that will help offset some of

0:11:51.760 --> 0:11:55.600
<v Speaker 1>these costs? Absolutely, I just give you the full cost

0:11:56.400 --> 0:12:00.000
<v Speaker 1>right now. I must say in some county in the US,

0:12:00.160 --> 0:12:03.120
<v Speaker 1>the sum of the system is very close to almost zero,

0:12:03.480 --> 0:12:05.760
<v Speaker 1>or with return of ensmissement, that's going to be less

0:12:05.760 --> 0:12:09.200
<v Speaker 1>than the years. Absolutely, in the Biden Inflation Reddiction Act

0:12:09.240 --> 0:12:12.880
<v Speaker 1>of three and sixty nine billions or something, there's a

0:12:13.000 --> 0:12:17.679
<v Speaker 1>large aspect it's gonna go as up as twenty eight

0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:23.120
<v Speaker 1>thousand dollars cash back per house in desk program. If

0:12:23.160 --> 0:12:27.240
<v Speaker 1>you consider everything very interesting. Let us know as you

0:12:27.280 --> 0:12:29.240
<v Speaker 1>start to move into the United States, as you said

0:12:29.240 --> 0:12:33.199
<v Speaker 1>in the fall, California, Texas, Florida, New York, you're communicating

0:12:33.240 --> 0:12:35.160
<v Speaker 1>with the utilities, and so you're gonna move along. Let

0:12:35.240 --> 0:12:36.560
<v Speaker 1>us know as you roll it out. We'd love to

0:12:36.600 --> 0:12:40.440
<v Speaker 1>hear uh more. Mark, Thank you so much. Mark Andre Fourge,

0:12:40.679 --> 0:12:44.760
<v Speaker 1>founder CEO at the Montreal, Canadian based Decibel joining us

0:12:45.080 --> 0:12:47.600
<v Speaker 1>there for you, Zoom, you're ready to go solar? I'm

0:12:48.360 --> 0:12:50.880
<v Speaker 1>that we thought about it once when we redid our roof.

0:12:50.920 --> 0:12:52.439
<v Speaker 1>I mean, we're a small row house. We don't have

0:12:52.440 --> 0:12:54.920
<v Speaker 1>a lot of roof space, but we kind of wanted to. Um,

0:12:55.000 --> 0:12:56.840
<v Speaker 1>so I think technically we could. We're trying to do

0:12:56.880 --> 0:12:58.240
<v Speaker 1>it on our condom. Are you trying to do it?

0:12:58.280 --> 0:13:01.120
<v Speaker 1>We just can only get like five kind of electricity

0:13:01.200 --> 0:13:03.440
<v Speaker 1>based from the sun. That's it, right, because because there's

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:04.679
<v Speaker 1>not electricity all right,
