correct, but if we are redesigning all consumer devices, we might as well redesign them for solar DC power

I think a rugged small portable solar panel may be better in most applications for power.

Than solar, ok.

Than solar plus batteries, the numbers don't back you up on that (or no longer do).

You mean something like solar panels?

So... a dehumidifier with a solar panel?

iamleppert | karma 5686 | avg karma 4.75 · | 2018-08-02 22:28:52

Yeah, meant to say conventional PV solar.

Solar is a solved problem. Anything that wants to displace regular panels has to do so by improving on them.

Neat!

Now, I'd like to see someone do something like this for solar panels.

That's solar power.

zaptrem | karma 1207 | avg karma 2.67 · | 2023-10-17 12:17:26

Can you elaborate on the solar panel part? I haven’t heard about that before.

gggmaster | karma 19 | avg karma 0.35 · | 2024-01-25 08:08:33

Or if you want your solar panel to work.
