  • Just bought one two months ago and it’s pretty easy. Technical progress is fast and it’s cheap.

    You best buy a combi: a battery including a microinverter. This allows you to feed in up to 2000W or 4 PV panels. However, here in Germany you can only feed 800W max into your house grid. All above will stored in the battery in given back slowly after sundown.

    Technical setup: I have three current lines in my house (don’t know how in US it looks) and the system feeds power into just one of it - the one where the plug is plugged. I have a smart meter that tells me if this very current line has demand (oven, fridge,…) and I can open, adjust or close the power feed. This way I feed ZERO power into the grid out of my home as the system adjust the power amount to what I need in this moment.

    I bought mine with 2 panels, 900W, 1,8kWh battery for 700€. Payback under 2 years.













  • You can’t compare indoors and outdoors directly. I think random has its means in an uneven environment. It simply doesn’t matter if the odometry sucks, if the wheels stick in muddy earth or small sticks block on side.

    Advanced sensors such as GPS and cam isn’t very precise outdoors. That’s why newer models come with its own positioning sender.



  • I wonder how human societies survived without money, if this is so essential for the crap.

    I wonder why people do crappy jobs for money? Is it because they need much money for things such as car, smartphone, playstation? For some food, you do not need much money. Actually you can grow it for yourself if you do not live in a big city.

    Sure, if one got in this consumption trap, one needs a constant inflow of fresh money.
