When production is larger than local demand you’re feeding in into the power grid. If your meter can ran backwards, then you’re saving even more money.

These people are screwed, then. You can’t expect an uncaring universe to accomodate your wishes, if you’re not willing to move yourself. Stopping using stuff is always an option that doesn’t cost money.

Solar microinverters are usually for single phase (sync to 230 VAC 50 Hz) and the balkonkraftwerk ones are plugged in into wall sockets. Of course, if there are multiple phases in a household you can plug in an solar microinverter output into a socket that’s on a different phase. They turn off within some 20 ms or less, so this is safe if mains losing power.

There are regular solar inverters that can deal with three phases, and also some which can deal with battery charging and can operate in insular mode and are black start capable.

Google doesn’t give a shit about what you want. It only understands two things: credible legal threats and not giving them your money.

Again, you build a public-sidewalk-facing solar module fence, and see how it fares. You’re way mismodeling the incentive and motivation of the human primate to fuck with things just because they’re there and within reach.

Shading degrades solar module performance, but I was thinking about thrown stones and sctatching with a hard metal bit which immediately destroys the prestressed glass pane only designed to withstand 30 mm hail.

And I live in a very nice neighborhood. Elsewhere, these things would be destroyed weekly.

Vertically mounted bifacials have better cooling so higher efficiency, harvest light from both sides and provide more during low winter sun and no snow cover on the panels/reflected light from the snow.

Get ready to replace these a couple times a year if public-facing.

The radioactivity at ground zero can easily kill you within the first hours to days. Puking you guts out and ankle deep in bloody diarrhea, what a great way to go.

Can’t even watch it with my always on VPN.

I would go with a refurbished Lenovo TinyPC with a quad/hexacore and some 16 GB RAM. These used to go for 200-300 EUR, but this might have changed recently. I run an AMD Fujitsu thin client as my opnsense firewall.

Plot twist: it will be 100% biofuels. In the area currently called the US.

Much more interesting than peak power at a certain moment is energy generation over a meaningful period.

Obviously, you host your own hypervisor on own or rented bare metal.

Linux has been fine as a desktop since i386 days.
