Shame the solar panels can't do "self-healing".
I this this is cool, I know a couple folks who got homelabs on reddit who mainly use solar power due to the cost and want to go green.
- kjkjadksj 2y agoYou can get self healing solar power if you grow bamboo and use the resulting charcoal for fuel. Carbon neutral I guess.
- tonetegeatinst 2y agoI bet using bamboo for power generation might be more clean that coal, especially if we turn the bamboo into coke first. Granted I doubt you could "farm" bamboo like trees or other plant. Given how fast section species of bamboo can grow, which is a big benefit in this hypothetical, you would probably need a ton of water and no matter how nutrient rich the soil is you'd probably deplete the soil after a few harvests. Shame considering how fast growing and dense bamboo is.
