    is there any chance you can get solar + battery?

      Maybe. But I hesitate because Brussels does not get much sunlight so I would need many panels. At the same time hail storms are common, which would likely reduce the lifetime of PVs.

        there are hail resistant solar panels now and batteries really help capture 100% of the solar output but it can be expensive, if you did it today it would be more of a donation to ukraine via yourself

        i did it for climate change, i almost never use grid power anymore and i’m installing a co2 hot water heatpump next month as well

        it looks like much bigger and cheaper solar batteries are coming next year from china which will make getting a battery a nonbrainer

        20kw for 6k usd? crazy if true
