Linus doesn’t want to add guidelines to not fuel any side of the whole discussion […]

30 km is long?!

I commute 14 km on the bike in Munich. (When the weather is not really icy).

Yes, lile that. There are also types (like the Anker generators for mobile homes / boats etc) which can run stand-alone, but the German balkony solar panels just add cheap supply to the domestic power use by plugging it into the household AC system.

No. It is just wires that transport energy. Old power meters will even run backwards.

For safety, these panels have some electronics that switch them off when it is not plugged in, or during power outages.

It will be my daily computer for browsing, documents and occasional photo editing.

On Linux, that does really not need much computing power or RAM nowadays. I use a thinkpad T490 with 8 GB RAM with Debian and Gnome / i3 on it. Runs like a charm. A friend of mine is working happily with a Thinkpad X220.

Here in Germany we have balcony solar panels. They are just plugged into a socket - no electrical installation needed - and pay off quickly.

Wait, what did Satya “Sloperator” Nadella say?
