did you change the title? it wasn’t 100% powered by solar and battery

No, I edited the sub-heading.

On February 1, 2026, California’s batteries bridged the solar gap with seamless precision. After discharging through the night until sunrise, they spent the daylight hours charging, then pivoted back to exporting power well past midnight—effectively sustaining the state on solar energy for a full 24-hour cycle.

yeah battery power was exporting to the grid over a full 24 hours but definitely not 100% powered

The batteries were charged by the solar panels.
