A place for all those who loathe machine-learning to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

Though the rooftop solar isn't optimal from an efficacy standpoint, it has other selling points. You have residential solar and a battery? Congratulations, you don't have to worry so much about power outages. This is particularly a selling point for rural living, where outages happen more often and last longer.
The abstract "it's greener" is a less potent sales pitch than "your fridge, heating, and a/c can still work even if the grid is gone".
