We're experiencing the first power outage since we installed our #photovoltaic system.
We've got 28% of the battery left and the panels are now producing 1 kW while the house is consuming 200 W (the heat pump is not backed up), so we're fine for the time being.
We wouldn't even notice the outage if the carpenters hadn't plugged the fridge into the socket for the oven that was not supposed to be backed up. 🤦

There are no hazardous materials in crystaline #solar modules. Well, there's tin from soldering, but that's it.

Your standard solar module consists of:

• A glass panel and aluminium frame (80%-90% of weight)
• A plastic sheet on the back, or another glass panel
• Rows of solar cells glued onto the back panel, soldered together and connected to a junction box.

Not a single day goes by, where I don't discover another roof getting its #photovoltaics treatment! 🎉🌞⚡

We're more or less independent from the #power grid since mid March. 🔋

I used to follow this extremely insightful energy analyst on that other platform. He seems to be open to moving to Mastodon as @gregor, but needs some encouragement. Can y'all provide some encouragement?
