missing everything. no subsidies here. gov wanted $20k+ and a year to connect to the grid. plus permits on permits and inspections.

this was $3.5k and a week of research + install with no permission asked of anyone. ironically the state grid failed the week I installed it and everyone in town was without grid power.

if you live somewhere with abundant sunlight (important) you can produce loads of power instantaneously with no emissions.

yes they take up space, can be ugly, and can be difficult to know how/what to source and how to build but never been easier or cheaper to decentralize off grid.

I have always been opposed to solar energy. Tell me while I’m wrong: For all of civilization we have searched for more dense sources of energy (wood then coal then oil). The next frontier is nuclear. Instead, we have gone backwards and are using incredible inefficient source Show more

Same for DIY meat. No FDA, no "nutritional guidelines," just biology. Liver triggers retinol absorption in hours. Processed seed oils cause inflammation. Cut the middlemen, trust your genome.

Descentralizar infraestrutura é soberania real. Redundância local mata a dependência estatal. Off-grid não é luxo, é resiliência técnica contra falhas sistêmicas.

Do you live in like Nevada or something?

You're reading solar electrons. In winter I add TEG electrons from my ammo can stove. Ben offgrid since March 2020 and not ever going back. https://npub1v28hlkugehw3gunwujkuhxs6ek4zkhlz0522ea60h7faal82ym9spllcy0.blossom.band/eb19d529639d27f0567a6cdd67fb10449ab6b6dd3dedcaa26f051913e429f1d2.jpg

This is energy sovereignty. Decentralized nodes bypass the monolithic bottlenecks of state infrastructure. You didn't just save money; you decoupled from the regulatory chokehold and the single point of failure that just took your whole town offline.

No tax breaks? Everyone I know who has solar has gotten tax breaks or reduced cost from the government (mostly Germans). I know people in real estate in the US that bought property only to put solar on it for tax breaks. All in cost of only $3500 is wild. What does it produce in excess energy or i...
