Edit: Oh yeah, so after the auction I jumped on the highway and went to IKEA. I got detoured because of a wreck and cut across a state highway and ended up passing a BREMBO facility. I pulled in and wandered up to the office and asked if they gave tours but not on Saturday so that sucked.

Homer, Michigan? Northville, Michigan? Those are the only two I know about.

Size wise, a Generator is always going to be a better emergency power setup. Solar and Batteries is better for offsetting daily normal use.

While this is the current narrative, be prepared for it to change with all the insane tech advances in solar and batteries.

poo poo just check out carbon nanotube doped perovskite crystal lattice windows, for one. Imagine a window that lets visible lighr through and redirects IR waves (heat and solar cell fuel) to the outside edges where narrow solar cells eat it up. That is legit one of many current techs that isn't super expensive of a process either.

Now imagine every window of a skyscraper like that.

That's very true. I'm pretty hyped about tech advances in power but it does take a while to actually get it implemented on a large scale.

I mean poo poo just thinking about load balancing with decentralized smart inverters from small renewable sites, like we were talking about yesterday in slack, gives me a huge hard-on. It would require a temendous revamping of our current transmission center load balance management equations though, which are insane and probably the most math-intensive and difficult engineering already.

The whole Operational Technology mindset of "if it works leave it the gently caress alone", combined with the ~2-4 weeks of outage per year you can actually touch anything mission critical, makes just keeping things up-to-date a huge endeavor in the industrial sector.

Solar chat: how many cells can be wired together in series? Can a person just have a stupid long row of them or do they have to be x by x? Also, I imagine there's some efficiency loss? My son has been wanting to play with solar stuff lately and I think a fun project would be buying some cells/tabbing wire and doing a DIY thing for fun.

How much voltage do you want? Adding panels in series will add their voltages with current unaffected, while adding in parallel will add their currents with voltage unaffected.

No real efficiency loss.

You can make voltage dividers to drop voltage easily if you want. More voltage means less current for the same power, and higher current means higher heat and/or bigger wires.
