So, I have been recently contemplating how our lives pretty much rely on a third party electricity supplier. While using a laptop, I got the idea that rechargable batteries where likely a thing, and started looking more into the subject.
From what, I have seen, the main thing that is being hyped up by "sustainable house" people appears to be solar energy. according to some website, like this one, it is essentially possible to have solar powered energy tanks that act as big batteries that you can then plug devices in.
That being said, I am a bit worried about venturing into that territory. If watching the whole crypto currency debacle from the sidelines has taught me, is that where there are alternatives, they are scammers. While I cannot deny that the idea of having a sustainable house is a good thing, I'd imagine that a some bad actors are already exploiting this.
Do any of you guys have any experience with solar energy? I am aware of that this thread already exists, but since it's more focused on plants, I though it was best to make another one. If you do have experience, what specific equipement do you use?
