Wood stoves equipped with thermoelectric generators can produce electricity that is more sustainable, more reliable, and less costly than power from solar PV panels.
Found this on the lowtech magazine. What are your toughts?
I can make solar all day long while it’s sunny. If I plan to keep my stove running all day long to produce power I have to go put the energy into getting enough wood to do that. That’s likely an obnoxious amount of wood for the amount of power output.
