Sustainable Tech

Sabaidee, Welcome!

This is a community for promoting sustainability in tech and computing. This includes: understanding the impact that our tech/computing choices have on the environment; purchasing or re-using devices that are sustainable and repairable; how to properly recycle or dispose of old devices when it is beyond use; and promoting software and services that allow us to reduce our environmental impact in the long term, both at work and in our personal lives.

This isn't a competition, it's a reminder to stay grounded when making your decisions. Remember: The most sustainable device is the one that you are already using.

Rules:

  1. Stay on-topic. Everything from sustainable smartphones to data centers and the green energy that powers them is fair game.
  2. Be excellent to each other.

Up to 1200w can be back-fed into the 120v sockets in normal homes. No net metering or other permission required, as long as it meets UL/NEC standards.

Giving people CONTROL of Their Energy without having to PAY Energy Companies? That's SOCIALISM!

This is super cool, just unfortunate timing since our president is an idiot and the price of these systems is sure to skyrocket. Costco was selling them last summer for a very tempting price, pre-trade war.

Technically, like the article says, there aren't currently any models available that comply, but I'd bet Anker and Ecoflow are already tweaking their German models to operate on 120v.

But yeah, with the tariffs they'll probably double/triple in price
