Jul 18, 2026 04:44:18	dangur	its also the only way we can establish long term space flight
Jul 18, 2026 04:46:58	dangur	well you would need an inverter too
Jul 18, 2026 04:48:20	dangur	imj saying if you want to run your house off of ac power, you would need an inverter to power ac appliances
Jul 18, 2026 04:50:08	dangur	from what i understand solar produces dc so you need to convert to ac and you lose energy on the conversion
Jul 18, 2026 04:51:15	dangur	it says around 5-15% energy loss generallyt
Jul 18, 2026 04:51:48	dangur	you just make sure you have 20% more panels than you need
Jul 18, 2026 04:52:29	dangur	i have a trickle charger for my truck which runs on solar
Jul 18, 2026 04:52:39	dangur	for the battery
Jul 18, 2026 04:53:55	dangur	but it keeps the battery topped off, I don't drive it very often i think it generates about 9 watts
Jul 18, 2026 04:54:38	dangur	i dont ever get a dead battery
Jul 18, 2026 04:54:45	dangur	works for me
Jul 18, 2026 04:55:41	dangur	people use them for boats to keep them charged, this is just a mini form of those
Jul 18, 2026 04:56:35	dangur	well you see people plant gardens on top of high rises
Jul 18, 2026 04:57:30	dangur	oranges and apples and pears
Jul 18, 2026 04:59:53	dangur	i remember i dabbled in wondering could i reasonably build a solar farm that would power my pc, monitors and router 24/7 and it ended up being very cost prohibited
Jul 18, 2026 05:00:42	dangur	just those panels i can lay outside
Jul 18, 2026 05:02:00	dangur	the thing you have to consider is i have to store it, it has to keep making power while still being used and i only have roughly 8-9 hours of sunlight
Jul 18, 2026 05:03:37	dangur	so i guessed my pc et all would be 400w on average an hour thats 9600 watts a day
Jul 18, 2026 05:05:41	cohopponentbot	my head
Jul 18, 2026 05:05:41	dangur	4200
Jul 18, 2026 05:06:21	dangur	that should be in kwh
Jul 18, 2026 05:06:48	dangur	no thats total watts a day
Jul 18, 2026 05:06:54	dangur	4.2
Jul 18, 2026 05:07:47	dangur	i kilowatt-hour is 1000 watts used for one hour
Jul 18, 2026 05:11:39	dangur	now add the inverter + lifepo batteries
Jul 18, 2026 05:12:26	dangur	be generous just say 2000
Jul 18, 2026 05:12:32	cohopponentbot	five hundred
Jul 18, 2026 05:14:07	dangur	something sounds off because it should be way more expensive than that
Jul 18, 2026 05:20:23	dangur	look up 400w panels because thats what they use on homes
Jul 18, 2026 05:20:50	cohopponentbot	i mean that they're just going to be bigger
