zoe
yea diy is the way: check Will Prowse on Youtube. He is the go to for diy solar and battery storage
how much solar generation capacity and battery storage are u seeking ? where i live, a 2kw solar installation without battery (grid-tied system ?) costs about 3k$. system pays itself in 4 years and rest of existence is powered by free energy. want batteries ? a 1kwh costs about 300$. where i live 4kwh/day is more than enough, sometimes 10kwh/day in extreme heat/cold. but i guess american needs could differ (30kwh/day maybe?). to recharge 30kwh batteries, u would need extra solar capacity (maybe 7kwc ?), and that would run at 9k$, add 30kwh batteries ? another 9k$.. idk what the 50k CAD are for
probably when using carbon cathodes instead of cobalt, the energy density drops from 300wh/kg to just 150wh/kg, so u would need extra anode/electrolyte mass to store the same amount of energy.i bet that those prices hikes are a result of diversion from rare earth metal mining..but just a guess
making an account there. i always like to have a spare everywhere with the same username
multinationals should be banned from making subsidiaries in tax heavens (for exemple, Ireland) The Irs knows this but lobbying money prohibits them from achieving anything substiantial
The mariana trench is also below sea level lol
so many people are uninformed and overly biaised
