I saw this home battery on Kickstarter, it is called ModuleOne. It is a portable home energy, perfect as independent energy supply in my opinion.I think that it makes the step to durable energy really convenient. What do you guys think? https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/janwellens/mygrid-moduleone-plug-and-play-homebattery
LiFePo4 batteries are all over the place. I don't see any real advantage to this one. Especially one that small. Plus Belgium uses 50hz power. But that's just me. Ok...enough spam.
What do I think? I hate drive by spammers who push something on their 1st post. But, that's just me. I would point folks to DIY Solar Power with Will Prowse - YouTube for home energy solutions - will only covers real products that are sold - not some make-believe vaporware as so often seen with Kickstarter.
Sustainable energy is energy produced from sustainable sources (sources that are constantly replenished) such as solar energy, wind energy, ... But these energy sources are often not stable (there is not always sun or always wind), which makes it more difficult to be depended on them. But with a home battery this can become a lot easier, you can store energy when a lot is produced (because the sun is shining for example) however you may not use much at that time. And later when less energy is produced (when the sun is not shining) you can discharge from your stored energy.
Thank you for the useful link! However those installations seem very technically complicated compared to the plug & play of module one.
Yes, but most of us who prepare are not the consumer grade. This is just a fancy battery backup with limited capacity. At max draw (800w) it's got like 2 hours of power. We want a battery system that will keep us running for days. This is great to recharge phones, laptops, maybe keep a couple of lights going though the night at the river side party spot. Not a long term survival tool.
I think I saw this at Costco, and wonder if it might be better for American users: https://www.costco.com/jackery-expl...0w-solar-generator-kit.product.100837145.html The larger of the two units can power a fridge/freezer (110 plug). Smaller one could do light-duty work, and it comes with solar panels. I agree with VT, most people who are into this probably have a much larger capacity in mind.
Using "EU Zone" English? Could well be. The board has seen its share of pimps and shills. I was thinking it was cool it the board was targeted by an AI - means we've made it to the big time, eh?
