Unfortunately 300$ price point brings up a lot more questions about utility to me. You can have all the things I mention above at a slightly higher price point. It is not hard to make these and the really hard part is guaranteeing the quali

Unless you have some super special edge, Vanguard is really good IMO. Having a 0.01% or 0.05% fund is really as good as you can do and never pay attention. Vanguard also has things like the VIGAX (0.05%) and the VITAX (0.09%) with excellent

Who are you buying solar from if the cells are disconnected from the grid? Solar itself is already 3.9% of the _total_ us grid power. Subdivide that 3.9% into a small category: grid disconnected solar... what one would be discussing is some

Yes... but if the battery is only available 50% of the time the effective efficiency is lower. This is what is meant by capacity. Math is hard. Understanding efficiencies via words is harder :)
