The insurance is OK with a home made battery? And there's no concern for public workers if some unidentified custom battery catches on fire for example? I've never seen a thumb throttle burn down someones house. Alibaba batteries

How many of these "not really feasible" sites do you think their algorithm identified. They are coming to the conclusion there is 100 or 250x more capacity than required (depending on country). Do you think their algorithm is so i

Why isn't it net metering? It seems to be net metering whether you count in kilowatt hours or dollars. They are selling back to the grid, with a smart meter that counts power in both direction. Theres many types of policies in net mete
