yes, i literally posted it. the article’s context makes it pretty obvious that “Off-Grid Without Batteries” refers to off the power grid (because you’re receiving direct solar energy) without batteries for holding your solar panel’s energy (because those are carbon intensive and expensive), hence i don’t know what the purpose of your comment is and it appears entirely derived from reading the headline and thumbnail alone.
The author’s solution essentially uses the batteries in the devices themselves to hold the energy.
Their point about power tool usage is a good one, except that they don’t discuss solar power surplus, which can be an issue.
But changing mindset to using electricity while it’s available instead of always assuming there will be a surplus of energy is a good one. The overall piece just seems a bit oversimplified.
Um, I’m pretty sure that laptop has at least two batteries….
this sounds like a comment you’re making based entirely off of the thumbnail; i would strongly encourage you to actually read the article if so
Did you read the article? It says he uses it to run his laptop and other electronics (such as charging a phone).
