@Anne_Delong@musician.social will still stay connected to the grid for now. Looking to supplement coolers for the farm more than become independent.

@brianb@fosstodon.org Yes, solar would be great for that, since hot sunny days are when you need the cooling most. I've run across several interesting solar energy developments lately. One is solar-in-a-box; a farmer was using it to power his milking machines. He liked it because it didn't need much installation and he could rent it, or buy it and resell later if he didn't want it any more. It wasn't this particular company but I can't find the original posting: https://cdssolar.com/new-technology-container-foldable-photovoltaic-panels-designed-to-adapt-to-various-application-scenarios/ #solarenergy
