RE: How Frequent Are Power Outages for You?
On the contrary, solar panels and battery-interver systems do not get cheaper here. The inflation affects the price of everything and things only get more and more expensive by the day. If it costs 100 USD to set on up today, it could cost 110 USD the next day. So you can imagine why it isn't exactly easy to set up, in as much as it is the most viable solution to these electricity problems from the grid. It really isn't a small investment at first over here, but it sure would be worth it for a very long time until the batteries begin to pack up.
Another thing is, even if I set up the solar backup system, which would likely be at my family's home, I most certainly cannot move it around with me. So now that I am miles and miles away from home, assuming that I have such a system back at home, I am over here dealing with the electricity problems. It's a nationwide problem.
Okay, I understand. Yes, it sounds like a fairly complex problem, but I'm sure there can be many solutions.
Perhaps there are NGOs or international initiatives that offer grants.
the possibility of setting up a community solar system where several households or an entire community can invest in a large solar system. I think this could reduce costs per household and provide a stable source of energy for several families.
Of course, it's difficult to set up, but I think it will always be more stable than the electricity supplied by the country?
In fact, since you're working online, you need electricity. You'd have to calculate how much money you lose when you don't have access to electricity. Then you'd know how profitable it is to invest in solar energy.
But I agree with you, it's really very difficult!
