Off-Grid Solar Over 60: The 10-Part Roadmap We Wish We'd Had
Climate Action California'Easy-to-install solar panels that plug into a regular outlet are getting attention just as Americans are worried about rising energy costs... "A year ago, nobody was talking about this," says Cora Stryker, co-founder of Bright Saver, a California nonprofit group that advocates for plug-in solar.'
But utilities are trying to block implementation. Read more from NPR: https://www.npr.org/2026/03/12/nx-s1-5737287/solar-panels-utilities-energy-saving
Jan„Reiche erwägt Einschnitte bei der Solarförderung“ halte ich für einen Euphemismus.
Das Ziel scheint doch eher zu sein private PV-Anlagen so kompliziert und unattraktiv zu machen, das keine mehr gebaut werden.
Aus der Steckdose kann man doch Strom beziehen - vorzugsweise aus Gaskraftwerken… 🤦🏻♂️.

StefanBlaselHow Circular is the #Circular #Economy?
The fourth volume in a series of books opening up #Lowtech #Magazine’s archive by theme
In this series of articles, LOW←TECH MAGAZINE explores how the #circularity of various #technologies like #bicycles, #solar panels, and #wind #turbines evolves. Placing the #recycling of resources in a historical context makes clear that we are not moving toward a #circulareconomy but rather increasingly away from it.

WATCH: Geomagnetic Storm Category G2 Predicted
Highest Storm Level Predicted by Day:
Mar 17: None (Below G1) Mar 18: None (Below G1) Mar 19: G2 (Moderate)
THIS SUPERSEDES ANY/ALL PRIOR WATCHES IN EFFECT
Comment: G2 (Moderate) geomagnetic storming is likely on 19 Mar with the arrival of a CME that left the Sun on 16 Mar. This is a reissue of the previous watch to correct an internal system error.

Kostenfalle oder Spartrick? — #EAuto #zuhause #laden
Wir lassen uns von #Rabot #Energy erklären, wie #dynamische #Stromtarife funktionieren. Das Prinzip: #Strompreise schwanken an der #Börse im 15-Minuten-Takt – mittags, wenn viel #Solar- und #Windenergie verfügbar ist, kann Strom sogar zum Nulltarif werden. Abends, wenn alle kochen und Netflix schauen, wird er teurer...

Dynamischer Stromtarif: Kostenfalle oder Spartrick? — E-Auto zuhause laden
soletan 🇺🇦🐸Heute liefert die #PVA zur Mittagszeit erstmals genug Strom, um direkt das E-Auto ohne Hilfe der Hausbatterie zu laden. Das war sonst meist erst im Mai zu haben. Da weiß ich glatt nicht, ob ich das jetzt gut oder schlecht finden soll.
Mini review of the ThinkNode M6 “outdoor solar power for Meshtastic”
Mini review of the ThinkNode M6 “outdoor solar power for Meshtastic”
Elecrow has sent us a solar-powered ThinkNode M6 Meshtastic device for review. Last year, I reviewed the ThinkNode M1 and M2 Meshtastic nodes, and I was a bit disappointed by the point-to-point range in a suburban environment, where I got about 550 meters of range after switching to LONG SLOW mode. Nine months have passed since that review, and there still doesn't seem to be any Meshtastic community in the second-largest city in Thailand, probably because typical Meshtastic terminals are more expensive than entry-level Android smartphones, have limited functionality, and the mobile app is still a mess despite a revamp. Nevertheless, when Elecrow asked me whether I wanted to test the "ThinkNode M6 outdoor solar power for Meshtastic", I thought it might be fun. The main purpose of this mini review is to check the range I get using the M6 as a router between the M1 and M2 nodes.
