  1. Oh no! We had to pull 2.14 kWh from the grid this morning. A combo of A/C running last night, oven usage last nights dinner, etc.

    Have already exported more than that since the sun came up though. :)

    It definitely is going to be interesting to see how things go in the winter.

  3. Similar to the use of solar panels in mixed used settings on land (agrivoltaics) to provide shade for workers, improve the humidity levels for the plants and electrify associated operations: ecoportal.net/en/island-chile-

  5. Seit ein paar Jahren flattern mir immer mal wieder Posts rein, die begeistert schildern, wie auf Feldern Nutzpflanzen UNTER Solarpaneelen gedeihen (oder Tiere darunter grasen). Ich bin etwas verwundert – brauchen diese Pflanzen keine direkte Sonneneinstrahlung für ihr Wachstum? Reicht da vielfach reflektiertes "Restlicht"?

  6. From Pew Research, “Most electricity still comes from burning fossil fuels. But a growing share comes from wind and solar power. Worldwide, 57% of all electricity generated in 2025 came from burning coal, gas or other fossil fuels, down from 65% in 2000.”

  8. She Risked Everything To Build a Solar Bakery On Her 3-Acre Homestead — It Sells Out Every Day

    "Hidden deep in the hills of Vermont, Suzanne Slomin lives and works at Green Rabbit Bakery, her solar powered sourdough bread bakery on her 3 acre homestead. Nestled high above the small village of Waitsfield with a population of just 1800 people, Suzanne uses solar power, skill, and tireless effort to craft hand shaped artisan loaves for the eager townspeople.

    She runs the small bakery in tune with the essence of sourdough bread. Using organic ingredients, a naturally leavened sourdough starter, long fermentation, and years of bread-baking experience, Suzanne transforms simple flour, water, and salt into beautiful artisan loaves."

  11. That article misstates that there are no UL-tested microinverters on the market. There is one, just approved:

  13. More industry context for balcony solar offerings in the US. It’s only legal in Utah so far (but everybody’s doing it anyway), and lots of various players gearing up to sell you cheap-ish panels and kits.

  17. I take an interest in this stuff because Exxon's alternative to it is just SO bleak. But the long-term best strategy, I think, is not to need as much power as we think we do ... Buddha was raised on material wealth, then he saw a sick person, and old person, and a dead person and said, Hmm. >>

  20. The murk from the #wildfires seems to have largely cleared over East Devon, but we're around 3kWh down (8%) on #solar production for the day on what I would have expected without it.

  22. Heard my bro's friend's planning to earn money through drawing chubby furries. I also remember a long time follower (who's a furry) on my twitch chat who said there are people in his friend circle who are "into chubby guys" like me.

    Idk. Kinda funny there's a market for plus sized individuals. No offense to plus sized people cos I'm plus sized as well rn.

    Ain't gonna lie I've thought about chaturbating. I mean I stream games, I'm big, and fat, and... hairy all around my body. I'd maybe get cash from doing it then I'd be able to fund my hobbies, y'know? I really wanna delve on solar and batteries. Ain't gonna fuck around with computers till the prices improve.

    But I'm not gonna do that. I'm not gonna throw away my dignity. Desperate people only start showing their bodies to strangers on the internet & most of them eventually regret exposing themselves in the first place.
