Trotz eines bewölkten, regnerischen Tages reichte die Produktion, um den Verbrauch zu decken, den Speicher zu füllen und 1,88 kWh einzuspeisen. Mit nur 8,66 kWh Tagesproduktion waren wir am letzten Sommertag nahezu 100 % autonom.

impermanen_ 🕊️A lot is written about <a href="https://zirk.us/tags/solar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#solar</a> energy as a response to the climate crisis. Less about its role in our political crisis: the fight against fascism.The sun cannot be hoarded or centralized. So technology that harnesses its power tends to be highly antifascist. It’s why petro-fascists like Trump and Putin recognize solar energy as a threat to their hold on power. It’s why we see solar energy growing the fastest in the long-exploited developing economies of the global South.
