This one is already solved, right? The price of panels and batteries is on trend to displace all other forms of power generation within our lifetime
- grumbelbart2 2mo agoPanels absolutely, their price is more and more dominated by installation costs. You can probably use automation to bring that down as well, especially for large-scale installations. Not sure if that requires AI research though, it's more an engineering and funding challenge. Batteries are still open. While they do get cheaper, there is still a lot of room to improve. And battery chemistry is something where a lot of research, trial and error, healthy intuition is necessary. I'd say that is more a field where an AI based approach might make sense.
