Silly me, I should have put I am on mint and previously kubuntu.

apt install murkuro

Will give it a go :)

Not quite. To use this you need to have a license still, otherwise you are stuck with low power as well.

Meshtastic can also increase power if you are licensed.

The comma placement hurts me :(

I don't think that you would team them, but add a barrel jack for the big charger.

If you have a NUC, i would use that.

Anytime i try something like this with RPi type gizmo's, i always run into problems. Overkill with a NUC could make your life much easier :D

how then do you actually access Merkuro? i just installed the kontact flatpak, but i have no idea on how to access it?

soo. where can i install the Merkuro stuff for Kubuntu?

edy: well, how can i download the installer, or the repo?

i have just started running radicale a lot more for calendars and contacts. then use betterbird for the client on my laptop and other android apps.

the problem is that there is no web-ui. otherwise, relatively solid and lightweight server so far.

Took me a second...

Bravo!

Love the idea, but ripe for abuse, also the critical mass of muggles using it to be worthwhile.

But, we can dream!

I am listening to a The Solar Insiders Podcast, which is interviewing the CEO of RayGen (thanks for intoducing it to me, really cool).

the 70% is the efificency of the energy storage, which is similar to pumped hydro. ie, they put in 1MWh to the chiller, and will recover 0.7MWh from the organic rankin cycle turbine.

so, they get the 30% of the solar (or whatever it is), plus the recovery of the heat. They were saying that for 1 tower, they get 1MW of solar and 2MW of heat. but they never said how much of the 2MW of heat gets converted to electricity, or what the efficiency is, but it sounds like they need to consume electricity to use the ORC (ie for the chiller).

one other thing is that they ORCs can provide grid inertia which is a cool outcome too.
