Depends on how scrupulous Average Person is being. There's codes for electrical and solar installations that can be followed, and it's best to stick to the letter, even if you're certain it doesn't apply. And after tha

The post you were replying to was specifically about cells, and if you’re going for economy, building your own packs are substantially cheaper than buying packs domestically. Also less fraught when you’ve DIYed to diagnose and fix when thin

Yeah, but I would just buy the cells and spend more on a BMS. Or you can just use a low voltage cutoff and an active balancer for a smaller setup

You don't think Ukraine is allied with western Europe? The assassination attempt on Yuschenko was clearly trying to remove the western-friendly democratically elected president of Ukraine. The people of Ukraine, by majority, are over

The starting of a war with allies is in contradiction with a desire to improve trade ties. If you remember, Nordstream, a product of trade freedom, was a point of leverage at the outset (until it wasn't). Hardly in the spirit of glob

Never meant to imply that, though hydrogen is just a different manner of chemical storage and wildly inefficient. Pumped hydro (gravity storage) is also doing its part, but not really growing in the exponential manner as battery cells[0].

The first 'large scale' sodium ion grid storage went online in May, so it might take some time for it to trickle down. But I think the economics of it already work today. https://www.pv-magazine.com/2024/05&#

But certainly a causal factor in a plea deal being reached. Without the extended incarceration (and the threat of prolonging it) there would have been little leverage to get Julian to sign the dotted line.
