minus-squarezik@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up3·6 months agoLithium is used in grid storage: Hawaii Ventura County Collie Hornsdale Bouldercombe Geelong And that’s just what I could find in a couple of minutes.

minus-squareAllero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoThe question is then whether it’s cheaper to buy LiFePos instead of lead acid or to install more solar panels.
minus-squareAllero@lemmy.todaylinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoAgreed - it’s not that there are no space constraints at all.
minus-squarecapital@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoYou’re thinking of density. Efficiency certainly matters.
