And yesterday I ordered an #AnkerSolix #BalkonSolar set intending to get some of the #HomeCharging done using the sun.
For the time being I just ordered a set trying not to go into nerd mode. I’m starting with 4 panels / 2.000 W and ~5 kWh battery storage. I think I’ll have to learn how this works and what I need for storage and management.
It’s new hashtag time. I plan to tag posts around my journey into #solarpower and #electricvehicles with my personal hashtag #L8goesSolarElectric - mainly to be able to see those posts myself.
I’m doing the same for music with #l8n8music and for my sabbatical with #L8Sabbatical .
It will be mixed English and German because I tend to use language based on relevance.

Hey #NewJersey peeps! Help get some positive legislation from our state over the finish line.
The Assembly and Senate unanimously (!!!) passed the #solar permitting bill A5264/S4100 that will streamline the permitting process and help more New Jersey households adopt solar! Ask Governor Murphy to sign the bill into law by using Vote Solar’s handy online form:

Kamloops, British Columbia, basks in over 3,100 hours of sunshine a year.
In 2016, Thompson Rivers University (TRU) decided to harness that wealth of light to generate electricity.
Solar Light? Mains Light? Yes! - So you want a light that runs off solar power. But you don’t want it to go dark if... - https://hackaday.com/2025/07/29/solar-light-mains-light-yes/ #greenhacks #solarhacks #solarpower #mosfets

Storms took out power for us early yesterday evening. Portable solar battery powered some fans and the refrigerator through the night and had enough juice left to brew some morning coffee as I got the panel setup to start recharging
