Solar panel

  • Cost :

Solar panel conversion efficiency, typically in the 20% range, is reduced by dust, grime, pollen, and other particulates that accumulate on the solar panel. "A dirty solar panel can reduce its power capabilities by up to 30% in high dust/pollen or desert areas", says Seamus Curran, associate professor of physics at the University of Houston and director of the Institute for NanoEnergy, which specializes in the design, engineering, and assembly of nanostructures.

  • To charge the car battery, they need to produce at least 16V of power, and as many amps as possible, but I need to determine how much.
  • The 16V can be plugged into the MoPi with no problem.

Wind power

Doesn't seem very good at producing any serious amount of electrity.

Car battery

  • Cost : 0€ // Need to pick it up at Cmal's

Backup battery

  • Cost : 0€ // I have two 3600mhA batteries

Charge regulator

Raspberry pi

  • Cost : 0€

Software

Web server

For the moment, the ideal is to use lightthpd, but I still need to check out how much more efficient it is than Apache or Nginx. I might also want to give a look at other all-in-one webservers, like python's, go's, or rust's.

CMS

For the moment, I plan on using Hugo, but I might migrate to Gutenberg as it uses the sample template system as Django, and uses Rust which is supported by the fact that a friend of mine knows how it works.

The ideal is to have a static web site.

Dat

Like the website is static, I can serve it though dat without too much problems.

You need to install dat, create a dat and then share it.

I need to figure out how to make the http version and the dat version run side-by-side, and same with TOR.

Battery control system
