    days are getting shorter.

    september was the first month when i got an electric bill since i installed battery in june.

    money wise the balance is still positive, but winter is coming...

      These tickle my brain

      Two motorised small solar arrays made up of 14  200w (I think) panels.

            I've been spending so much time tending to my solar panels that it truly has been giving me the most utopic/dystopic cyberpunk vibes. Cleaning the ground, installing, raking off gunk, like yes once installed they are mostly happy without much care but by the time you get there...

              recent sunny weather has kept grid consumption at zero, with more than half of the harvested solar energy exported back to the grid. even on cloudy days like today, the system remains fully self-sustainable (including car charging after a few round trips to town). the battery is a game changer!

              next up: build own micro-grid and automate export to the grid based on price and weather forecasts
