So I just wanna say that we we were very we still we still are very excited about the pilot program because with the pilot that you learned a lot, right, all the lessons learned that you get from the pilots, you could you would apply it to larger scale systems.
0:51:13
Right?
0:51:13
And that's that's the idea.
0:51:15
And it's been great because we the lessons learned include, you know, the challenges that would have with installing source systems, interconnectivity, interconnection.
0:51:29
You know, we learned about the cost.
0:51:31
We learned about O and M issues and so on.
0:51:34
So all these lessons, obviously, are going to be used to to further the scaling of our projects.
