Comment on Ask HN: What good use can I put my ~1500 sqft irregular basement to?parent

Comments

No one hopefully will need care in the next 5 years. I have little kids.

Energy storage sounds intriguing, but solar means, I'll need to have them mounted on my rooftop, right? So I'm thinking that should be around $10k - $20k investment or more. But I'll get free energy & probably can sell it back to the grid. Sure something to think about.

Depends on your surroundings. Panels on the roof are very roof-unfriendly and you may need to add bracing and plan for shingle damage during the install and extra wear during maintenance. One guy near my house has PV panels in his south-facing front yard, much friendlier to the house, but a lot more susceptible to theft.

And then there's this thing https://sparkonit.com/2019/05/24/build-thorium-reactor-home/

Thank you. I'll certainly check these out. But I already have plans underway for solar panels on my roof. Fighting with my HOA to get the permits etc.
