baregrid
Energy laid bare.
A fortnightly newsletter on solar, batteries, and the transition out of fossil fuels. Real data from a real system. Written by the person building the monitoring software.
Every issue starts with real numbers from a 13kW solar / 16kWh battery system in rural Tasmania. Generation, consumption, export, battery cycles, tariff arbitrage. What worked, what didn't, what the software learned.
Nobody else is publishing this level of operational transparency from a household energy system. That's the point.
Field notes
Real generation data, battery cycling decisions, export revenue, and savings from a household solar+battery system.
Community energy
Cooperative solar farms, community batteries, solar gardens, and investment opportunities across Australia.
The transition
Policy, grid economics, electrification, and the practical implications for households and communities.
Energy intelligence
Smart monitoring, load shifting, EV charging optimisation, and what happens when your system starts making its own decisions.

Fortnightly. Real solar data, community energy news, and the energy transition from someone who runs the system and builds the software. No greenwash, no vibes.
Bare Grid Digest is part of the Bare publication family, alongside Bare Metal Digest and Bare Rent Digest. Same philosophy: strip away the noise, show the real numbers, and make expertise accessible to people who'd rather understand their systems than outsource the thinking.
