Hey !fediverse: I just joined the !electricity group, because I'm planning to run my new house (mostly) on solar energy. To the extent possible given location, orientation and current technology, that is. My architect will bring an engineer to discuss options soon (probably next week). I'm sure there will be a lot to report in the near future, so I'm making up a hashtag for that (and other similar projects!) #solarhome :)

hmm, that link didn't work (still problems with remote group joining :( ), let's try again: !electricity

@solariiknight I still live in Amsterdam, but will move to Groningen (both in NL) where I bought a new house. That will be renovated, so the solar project will be part of the overall renovation (and enlargement) project.

@solariiknight interesting project! I also read 0.nul.lt/1ZAlMaH - amazed how you assembled your own bulbs (you can just buy them here all over the place, I get most of mine from IKEA). Nice to read about South India - been there, though I did not actually stay in Chennai (plane landed there) or Madurai (where we caught a train). But I'll be back some time!
-
@solariiknight we did visit Tiruchirappalli, and from the Chennai airport we went straight to Mamalapuram, then further south. We saw a lot, but still, there were places where I'd like to have more time, so I should try to return.

@solariiknight interesting, and good to know. (I'm having still somewhat vague plans to design LED lamps of my own.)
