In a new report, the SAFE Grid Security Project warns the US grid faces increasing risks from extreme weather, cyberattacks, and inadequate infrastructure as energy demands grow more complex.

    That really is unfortunate. Maybe if you found and chose a company yourself…?

      True. If there is a positive to my rant, it’s that I am getting a list of companies not use.

        Go all in and do it yourself

          Honestly, that is something that really interests me. If there is anything that I am holding out for, it’s solid state lithium batteries. (A significant battery bank is high on my list of requirements and having garage full of current generation li-ion batteries still makes me cringe a little.) Prices should be much better once they go into mass production for EVs. Hopefully.

            You wouldnt need a garage full of batteries. Something like this should work: https://signaturesolar.com/eg4-lifepower4-lithium-batteries-kit-30-72kwh-6-server-rack-batteries-with-free-pre-assembled-enclosed-rack-with-door-wheels-busbar-covers/

            People still often use lead acid for solar storage as energy density is less of a concern when you are just stacking them on a shelf.

              Sadly, I am space constrained so no lead acid batteries for me. Having the ability to actually maintain my own batteries would have its perks though.
