We have coatings for this now. IIRC, KAUST paid for some people to make it. TiO2 and some other stuff in the anatase form keeps it relatively clean without adding water. Joey Steel fucked around with this message at 20:09 on Dec 15, 2022 |

Id beat the sun's rear end but the weak mfer is millions of miles away. If I was within arm's reach I'd lay the sun low

Heck yeah sundials worked great then we had wristwatches that charged simply by having a cheeky tug (or even just idunno walking around) through gyrismos. Now smartwatches? Oh lol uhm they got fastcharge maybe? There used to be no charge man. Somewhat seriously, now they come out with ultra fission eternal power generating, just like that huh? Now? Maintenance on the old coal power plant and some gas lines sabotaged and now they just HAPPEN to have figured out forever power mmmhm.

I had a professor that worked at Lawrence Livermore in the '60s and '70s. He worked on the early fusion research and materials development. I'm sure its been upgraded and changed since his day, but he described the laser cannons to us. Imagine a laser cannon the size of your living room; perhaps your whole house. Now take 6 of those and target them onto a single microscopic point. It takes a couple of hours to charge them all up, and even then there will be a huge pull on the local electric grid when fired. They had to fire at 2 AM to avoid causing a blackout. Even then though, it caused brown-outs on occasion. The achievement in successful fusion is monumental. Its like inventing the wheel, penacillan, TV, walking on the moon, etc. It just takes a poo poo-ton of energy, and would need to be done many times per day to reap the benefits and make it a viable source of power for society. But they did proof of concept. We'll probably not see it in our lifetime, but after 100 years of refining the tech, it'll be one of the new and greatest advancements of human kind. Also, on the advice of my professor, "You do not want to live anywhere near that lab."

i've been watching a few videos about wind and solar power and now i'm starting to get pissed off that these things aren't having all the money thrown at them as fast as possible to completely get rid of fossil fuels except as an emergency resource because all i'm hearing is there's enough wind and solar potential to fill the world's energy needs many times over if we'd get our poo poo together like a week ago my attitude on climate change was eh, probably gonna be horrendous but what're you gonna do. now it seems like the problem is purely political. i'm probably being just as simplistic on the other side of it now. is there a good, short book which covers this sort of stuff written in the last few years i could read to get a better idea of what the hold up is and what the potential actually is? roomtone fucked around with this message at 00:58 on Dec 17, 2022 |

the roof on my place is oriented E/W so the only place I could reasonably explore this stuff was my shed, which had space for 4 panels so I've got 1.6KW of capacity out there. I think it maxes out around 1.4KW because it's not a tracking mount or anything. It's pretty cool but because I'm in the PNW there are days so cloudy that I get 5-10% of the rated output. I put this thing together myself which I don't necessarily recommend to anyone but I have DIY brainworms so I can answer questions about it if you like. I have a battery system that probably tops out around 4.5 KWh stored, I might upgrade it to ~16 but the issue is there's no climate control out there so to ensure acceptable performance I would need to build it an insulated enclosure. If I do that well enough hopefully the charge/discharge cycles generate enough heat to keep it warm anyway but I might have to rig up a little control system with a heating resistor and a fan to keep it >10C and <40C. My original motivation was to explore offgrid potential out in the sticks, but given the above about cloudy days you need to have a really significant battery system if you're not going to cut back on your electricity usage, which I don't want to do, and especially if you're using electricity for heat. In conclusion insulate your homes. Good night! tiaz fucked around with this message at 04:59 on Dec 29, 2022 |

I live in an apartment so I can't steal the sun's light from the structure, but the roof is really well oriented for solar. I wrote the township since these complexes are like 30% of the housing structures here. I did put weather stripping on my drafty rear end window tho.

I think it maxes out around 1.4KW because it's not a tracking mount or anything. Based on the rest of your post, I assume that you've already run the numbers on this, but for anyone else; I've seen people run two strings of PV facing E and W, then tie that into a single inverter. Someone in the same city as me has 3 or 3.5 KW of production arranged this way, and he produces basically as much as I do with 5 KW facing NE, with the plus side that he makes more of his energy in the critical morning and evening periods and comparatively less in the useless midday period.

Yeah, but I don't like voluntarily having a 50% of max duty cycle on the panels. If you have a good battery system (or grid tie, which I don't) to average it out, generation at noon isn't wasted.

I live on my sailboat with 1685w (3*lg Neon2 415w panels and 2*noname 220w panels) of solar and 300ah of LiFePo4 storage with a victron 3kwmultiplus inverter/charger. I'm thinking about doubling the storage though. That's my solar story Karma Comedian fucked around with this message at 15:39 on Dec 29, 2022 |
