its possible for some. i understand you have some acreage and a water course on the land. between solar, wind, hydro and batteries you can meet your energy needs (can you, even freezers etc?) this isn't available to everyone, even with some land in the countryside.

any energy can be stored. its just most the storage methods we have poor, they either dont scale (that old chestnut), inefficient, or take long time to recharge. see this page for some graphs. you'll see on the second pic how petrol sits way up and out on top. this is the problem, fossil...

ah, you live in rented, unfortunate for you (re getting benefits of solar). when you find a way to harness magnetism to do useful work you'll be able to afford a lush house and power all your neighbors for free. until then you (and the rest of us) will have to pay for the energy generation and...

you should have it wired into your house then, or the network so you get paid for the power generated.

solar needs plant to generate the power and networks to distribute between sources of supply and demand. as i say, if you have a workable, scaleble solution for domestic use, then present it (not even asking for the real challenge of industrial scale). because right now those you see on...

i don't believe its loss less but DC has orders of magnitude less. at the time of building out electrical power there wasnt the technology for DC to work as well as AC. AC has a lot of problems, increasing at distance, but they where easily solvable to AC won (transformers allowing to up down...

high voltage DC removes the transmission losses (AC was used originally because of technology i forget restricted DC, which has since been resolved). Rare earths are not as constrained by China as is apparent, they aren't actually rare and its pollution from the extraction processes that keep...

why dont you toddle off then and create a magnetic energy plant, and use which ever of Teslas surpressed but widely known ideas will give free energy. come back when you have something usable and reliable at a domestic level. back to reality, the trouble with solar panels is energy storage...
