Are there any perovskite/monocrystalline cells in commercial production yet anywhere in the world? I keep seeing a lot of buzz for adding a perovskite layer to crystalline silicon cells, but I’m not seeing any in actual production. Maybe I’ve missed something?
That was interesting how they adjusted sizes based on adjacent letters. Good idea
Yeah they really buried the lede here. The big news is the claim that they can sell cultured carrot cells for cheaper than grown carrots. The 3D printing part is besides the point.
Also the carrot shape isn’t really ideal for cooking. Annoying to split into smaller pieces. If you have the freedom to print it in any shape then I’d take big blocks personally. Much easier to stack, store and cut into arbitrary shapes for cooking. Molds definitely seem like a better idea for mass production than slow 3D printing.
In the U.S., buying is a mistake if you don’t think you’re going to stay for more than 5 years.
Rather than selling the house, you can consider renting it out if you move. Depending on the terms of your mortgage, you may be only roughly breaking even when you first start renting it out, but after a couple years rent will likely increase so that you’re cash flow positive and you’re also building up equity in the house.
If you’re single and childless, but anticipate maybe getting married and having children later, do you buy the place that works for a single person today, or do you buy the place that might work for raising kids 10 years in the future?
If you’ve bought a small starter house 10 years ago then you have lots of options when you want to upgrade. Your starter house should have appreciated and a good chunk of your mortgage payments have gone to increasing your own equity.
So you could sell the starter house and reinvest the profits into a larger house. If you do a 1031 exchange then you avoid paying capital gains taxes, so the starter house essentially functions as an appreciating savings account.
Or you could do a cash out refinance and keep the starter house as a rental property and use the excess equity to invest in the new house.
These are all good options to have. It’s going to be rare where you’re upset that you bought a starter house 10 years ago and are now looking to upgrade. That’s pretty much an ideal position to be in.
Sounds like the admin tools have a big way to go.
Those are normal crystalline panels, not tandem
