I might tie it to the grid, but I’d have to study up on it more. I appreciate you mentioning what you’re already doing, and the pros and cons of the batter usage.
Thank you. Another good thing to know.
Thank you folks. I’ll keep you in mind if I have more questions. Appreciate the input.
I’ll be venturing out in the coming years, so don’t give up on me just yet. LOL
Yes. Comparatively (to a business), it’s probably a pittance.
“Doesn’t that allow the large providers to scale back their operations?”
No, if you are connected to the grid as a public utility the power company has to have the capacity to power your needs when you flip the switch.
If the power is available anything you add to generate your own power is redundant waste, and would never pay for itself in savings.
If you want backup in case of power failure buy a gas/diesel generator. That gives you power on demand when needed, and isn’t running when you don’t need it.
I think you posted that to the wrong person.
That article is already two years old. I’d wonder what’s been happening in north america in the subsequent two years as this is a fast moving technology sector. The Chinese for example have Pushed forward their development time for a thorium reactor by 15 years in March this year.
I’ll be venturing out in the coming years, so don’t give up on me just yet. LOL
