Anyone out there using a Tesla battery (or at least solar) to power your grow rooms?

That's not a pic man.

looks like it's been a while since I posted pics. although I'm almost positive there are more recent pics, it looks like I posted a number of pics way back in April. Keep in mind that I'd been growing less than a year at that time (like 11 months, about a 1.5 years now).

I've made a lot of broad stroke improvements, now I'm dialing it in and making more precise changes to everything.

These are pics of Taskenti, taken back in July. Wow, looks like an entirely different plant. It now finishes covered in bright red hairs and a decent amount of frost. But it's not the looker that Gorilla Cookies is. Hard balls, cakes with frost. It's my favorite right now. It's the first cookies I've seen that it makes sense to call them cookies.

I've had some Green Gelato pics of one that yielded well from seed, and it's probably my smelliest; but the high doesn't excite me, so it's out.

Taskenti from Cannabiogen. The real hashplant

These two Taskenti bushes are flowering properly, they've been at 12/12 for near 4 weeks. This time they are bigger than usual and they have a lot of branches and tips, so the production of bud will be nice. White shiny crystals are already there as usual. Sweet smokes Very nice grow log you...

Some EVs are used as backup batteries for houses. Perhaps one that can do that would be an option

yes, I've read about it done that way, too. it's definitely an option. but I like the idea of having a system dedicated to powering rooms v. a vehicle that drives around. idk, it's probably pretty simple to connect to a car, which, in my mind, makes it a decent option.

I don't understand why anyone would rig a bunch of Tesla car batteries together instead of simply buying a wall battery designed for that purpose.

Price?

Absolutely. And brainstorming about this, starting from the ideal situation, unlike a Tesla Wall made for that purpose and, consequently, probably requires you to hook up to the grid/power co, with car batteries, you'd hope to bypass the grid. Although the power co. pays you for your solar panels' excess power, at what rate? Is it less than they charge you for your grow? Your margin/total energy savings is less the closer you're tethered to 100% power co. grid (imo, fwiw).

That's what I was thinking but when you consider sourcing all those different batteries at various stages of use/remaining lifespan, and the cost to get someone licensed willing to rig it all together for you, I would think the cost has to be close. Especially considering replacing one of those random batteries in the array. Probably have to get an electrician in again. What happens if half the array goes down for some reason? Too many variables imo.

A lot of states have incentive programs that reduces the cost of a wall battery when installing a solar project. Doubt you'd qualify four any tax incentives of you did the car battery route either.

I rent. I’m looking at prices without subsidy.

What is the cost for 1MWh of fresh “wall”?
