  • i´m not trying to win an argument here, i´m just stating the facts. sungrow blows every full european home-use system out of the water in price. i did my due diligence and checked my wholesale prices again (i´m bored at work rn) and i have to disagree.

    there is a point to be made that bigger systems (100kWp and up) only cost 15-20% more as the price differences on inverters for industrial use aren´t as severe. but then again: it´s hard to beat the 13ct/W price of Jinko panels and if you add an industrial sized battery no european company can a) offer european battery cells and b) offer a competitive price

    i have yet to encounter american products, all i can think off the top of my head is Energizer which is literally just selling chinese FoxESS inverters and batteries but painted black and there’s tesla - which only sells batteries which are ridiculously expensive per kWh compared to chinese hardware.



  • if the eu would be so concerned about this they shouldn’t have gutted the solar industry (which germany was leading)

    in my country every homeowner wants solar panels on their roof because it’s an investment which will effectively double your money within 20 yearsUNLESS you buy european hardware which is 100-150% more expensive than chinese hardware which also excels in functionality.

    the big leading european solar companies: meyer burger, SMA, KACO, QCells, Solar-Fabrik and many more either don’t keep up with new technology (e.g. hybrid inverters) or completely rely on chinese hardware which just gets rebranded and sold back to the eudm (sma using sungrow hardware)

    and yes: the manufacturer can effectively turn off solar farms on a whim. remember the huge blackout in spain? this could hit any country if a manufacturer decided to turn off 4GW of power because electrical grids would collapse on such a sudden local power loss. will it happen? probably not.

    but it’s still silly that it only becomes a problem YEARS after china completely eclipsed the market and the technology became vital to european energy infrastructure.


  • take the george costanza advice: look annoyed and unapproachable.

    i usually open that one task i actually want to work on, and just spread it over the day. when the bossman gets in vision range i just continue doing my task.

    IT doesn’t know shit, i’m IT… i just use a different browser for slacking so i don’t have to worry about cleaning my history.

    other things: if your job requires it you can also look busy while scrolling lemmy. don’t try to hide it, that’s suspicious.

    pro tips: become a smoker (don’t)

    but in essence: always look focused and grumpy. - good luck. 3 years of doing the bare minimum and wasting 40hrs of my life every week for effectively 5hrs of work sucked out all the joy and purpose i had in life. i just exists and hope i get caught lacking so something changes…
