- hackerlight 2y agoThere are often blackouts while the sun is shining in lower income countries.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoYes, local solar panels are needed too.
- hackerlight 2y agoIt's cost prohibitive, a small hybrid system costs $4000usd which exceeds the average annual income of many equatorial countries. But you are right that if somehow everyone could install this system (along with an AC and the construction of an airtight room) then wet bulb events would be manageable.
- bryanlarsen 2y agoThe solar panels to run an air conditioner are a similar cost as the air conditioner.
