I have a similar project, I'm so overpaneled I bought an electric heater so I could actually see how many watts I brought in during a nice summer day. The victron UIs have an excellent graph history.
It might. An electron app is always a compromise, everyone knows several native apps would be better, but that's 3x the effort and maintenance. If you have LLMs porting to other systems they may be kinda janky, but is that worse than an electron app?
First they are coated in copper, and second nobody bakes pie crusts at a temp that would cause zinc to offgas and third zinc fever is not a big deal unless you're breathing a bunch every day.
I stopped reading as soon as I got to the word "tracking". Solar panels are so cheap it's always better to overpanel than add tracking. Then I re-read a bit and this is about adding solar panels in space constrained areas. Why would you do that? I guess maybe if some company needs to virtue signal rather than actually use the power and has a small lawn. Solar is amazing, but don't try and jam it into places it doesn't make sense.
Depends on the state/city. In Minnesota with cheap electricity and not a ton of sun it's still worth it, just takes a while to recoup. In places in california you can recoup costs in as little as 2 years sometimes because the rates are so high.
I had a buddy go through the Canonical process, it's totally insane. They expect you to jump when they say, but then they may not respond for days or weeks.
I was trying to find information on this on the internet and couldn't find any, thanks for providing. Interestingly enough Copilot coding agent on github.com repeatedly could not complete css changes correctly, when I switched to Agent mode in the project IDE with Claude 3.7 it was able to complete it in one round, so I assumed that there was a different model.
Depends on the pricing & speed. I think you'd use this to create scripts that would run frequently, then on failure you'd have this evaluate if there were changes and if so create a new script.
So what I've seen so far is that LLMs are amazing for small self contained problems. Anything spanning a whole project they aren't quite up to the task yet. I think we're going to need a lot more processing power to get to that point. So our job will change, but I have a feeling it will be slow and steady.
