Comment on Spiralling costs spark 'urgent' overhaul of $2.3b battery subsidy scheme
Eyekaytee@aussie.zone 1 week agoI’m getting a genset and some diesel and disconnecting
Worth looking into Ecoflows, I know they use them in Ukraine for portable power

Even a 4kw with solar will do >50% of your daily power needs and added bonus you don’t have all the noise and fumes that come with a diesel generator, save that for emergencies

Isn’t that just a portable battery with a solar charger (MPPT) integrated ? We were talking about solar roof setups combined with large fixed batteries, which will largely cover all your needs most days. The diesel genset I used as a placeholder for reliable personal electricity generation from some other mechanism for the rare other / high usage days. Biodiesel is a good option, but there’s hydrogen (or LPG) fuel cells and a number of other options, you don’t have to put them in the same room as you either.
Also kW is power, kWh is (stored) energy (kW you can deliver for an hour), units matter.
