What would it take for our home to be Solar Self-Sufficient?
Work in progress, but I think I have the answer.
🏠 I live in an ordinary house in suburban London.
☀️ Our solar panels generate 3,800kWh per year.
🔌 We use the same amount of electricity per year.
After crunching the numbers:
🔋 Capturing all our solar excess needs a 1 MegaWatt-hour battery.
The BIG SECRET the Fossil Fuels
Industry is trying to distract us all from...

It does feel like #China is probably gonna be the lynchpin of a #solarpunk #future in many of the poorest parts of the world #Africa#Asia#SouthAmerica
The veritable flood of #solar and #batteries and #EV along with cheap #communication #technology is laying the foundation of all the cool things #solarpunk usually dreams about.
"The solar panels imported into Sierra Leone in the last 12 months, if installed, would generate electricity equivalent to 61% of the total reported 2023 electricity generation" #Energy#Solar#Africa
