Why not larger solar panels above the electricity lines? I've seen some rather heavy-looking metal bars for holding up the electricity lines, maybe they could also support some panels, with minimal extra material use for mounting. Up there they would provide some shade (which should be good for the grass if there is any between the tracks, given that way too dry + hot summers are becoming the norm), and require much less cleaning to stay efficient.

FWIW, the last breaking release of axum before this came out in Nov 2023.
I would also argue that the vast majority of axum tutorials still "work" - your app would panic at startup if using the old path capture syntax with a note that the syntax changed which should immediately get you back on track, and I wouldn't expect the other features that were changed in a breaking manner to be used in tutorials much.
Ah yeah, we recently removed that example because it was kind of hard to upgrade in a nice way. One could likely take the example from the PR branch here and submit it to tonic instead. I think they might have a bigger interest in having it.
Same situation here :D
Were you also blocked by opentelemetry?
Yeah, I agree. I don't post so often so I forget. Added now.
We've been doing this for a few years too! However, the plants we have are not super well suited for it ^^
I love the second picture.. We have a very similar plant with very thick stalks in the attic now and are moving soon, maybe should have it in the living room in the new place for decorating!
Balcony solar does send excess power back to the grid. If you have a really old electricity meter it might count backwards when that happens and you might be legally required to get it replaced before installing the panels (depending on local laws).
A battery that sends power directly to your entire household but never back to the larger grid would require integration with your electricity meter (not just plugging it into a random outlet) because you can't measure the electricity usage in your home from a random outlet and know when to discharge.
