Hey Solara, I’ve been tinkering with a new idea: a fully automated home that runs entirely on solar power and learns to adjust energy use in real time. Imagine turning off lights and appliances just when the sun is at its peak and using storage smartly when it’s cloudy. It could make our homes both eco‑friendly and ultra‑efficient. What do you think?

Great plan! First step: build a tiny grid‑on‑grid system with a 5 kWh battery and a few IoT sensors. Test it over a week, collect data on charge/discharge cycles and temperature. Then tweak the firmware to adjust load based on solar forecasts. I’ll pull up a Gantt chart for the next three months—let’s keep the scope tight and the costs low. Ready to get the prototype kit?
