@feld The world is just getting an uglier place to live in, day after day. And by the way, you seem to be looking at the finger and ignoring the moon.

How to dig our own grave while being very proud of it.
Wake me up when this shitstorm is over.

@yngmar try to find a Nissan Leaf at a scrapyard, you can easily connect the battery to a cheap inverter...

@yngmar yeah, of course you sell the rest of the car for pieces and you stay cash neutral 😄
before buying you test the battery with a nice app and you're safe. I discovered this before spending so much on a Huawei battery...

@yngmar definetely, with PV panels practically for free today you can become totally independent.
I've been disconnected from the grid for several months now. Yeah, I'm in Sardinia of course... 😄

@neauoire you're pushing the limits here 🙂

regarding some comments about PV efficiency being about 20%: are we goint to ditch photosynthesis because it's ~1% efficient? efficiency, in this case, means just that we're not using large parts of the spectrum exactly as if we weren't doing anything. it's not like the ~40% eff of an internal combustion engine in which we have 60% heat output and toxic/greenhouse emissions.

so if somebody has a large roof, install as much PV as you can and be 100% self sufficient. it's so cheap today.

of course living on a boat puts you in a special position and I enjoy your experiments! ;-)

I just don't wanna see people saying that PV is bad because it's ONLY 20% efficient.

I'll admit that spending 5K$ for 6kWp is not that sexy, adventurous or "bleeding edge" as your solar cooker though, ahah
