Bachelor chow!

The hair plugs was money well spent.

So even you conclude they will need replacement, and apparently your big point is “later than many assume”. Emphsis on many and assume. Not experts that calculate. JFC. I’m out.

Do you guys seriously think the batteries don’t degrade? They do, and they will need replacing. Plenty of hybrid batteries have been replaced. Or is everyone still stuck in “cars only last 200,000 miles” mentality, because electric motors last a hell of a lot longer.

Rage against my machine???

I highly suspect so. Chemicals are just so much better than they were in the past.

QED for everything everywhere forever.

Looking at six solar arrays in Switzerland that have been running since the late 1980s and early 1990s, the team found most panels still produced more than 80% of their original power after three decades.

Temperature turned out to be a major character in the story. The study reports that lower-altitude systems faced higher thermal stress, with module temperatures reaching about 20 degrees Celsius warmer than high-altitude sites, and those hotter panels tended to degrade faster.

Some of the wear mechanisms were very specific but easy to picture. The encapsulant, the clear plastic layer that helps protect and hold the solar cells, showed more breakdown in hotter conditions, and the researchers linked that to chemical byproducts that can contribute to corrosion over time.

Those do degrade. New chemistries will hopefully lead to longer lasting though. Also different tech, solar doesn’t have the same chemical reaction that can degrade. Not sure how solar degrades, it might be more from the manufacturing process.

I’m wondering more about the 4:3 monitor in the middle, with the keyboard in front which indicates it’s the primary monitor.

Can’t believe there isn’t laptop with monitor above.

Why? Don’t need the width on the main 4:3 monitor in the middle?

Which one is most common for finance?

Go Robinson or Winkel.

Class survey?

I don’t think car to grid will take off because that’s extra wear on your car. But smart charging overnight and not during peak should be easier. Though around here the paperwork for level 2 charging is bizarre so putting it in on level 1 (normal plugin) might be more challenging both for charge time needed and why would someone pay for a smart level 1 charger.

You can’t just treat it as an external drive?
