Journey to create a Solarpunk future. Pun(k)s welcome.
Starting with a critical issue: Lawn Care. What’s more resource consuming than having a non-native, mono-culture lawn complete with synthetic fertilizer, pesticides, over-watering, and all maintained by polluting lawn equipment. My first move is to face the problem head on by creating a solar powered electric lawn care service. As I build trust with my clients (reducing pollution along the way) I offer them better solutions: native landscaping, native lawn alternatives, organic fertilizer, energy efficiency... a solarpunk future.

Temgot Or Vatrer For Your Golf Cart?
I open up both batteries and deep dive into how these are constructed and discover why one might be cheaper than the other despite all appearances of it being identical.
I really enjoyed comparing these two 105ah 48V 16 cell LiFePO4 Golf Cart batteries and kits side by side and learning some of the construction practices used to make them, including the flexible printed circuit assembly for the Vatrer which likely reduces the manufacturing time and cost. What did you guys think?

Testing this Portable Dabbsson Unit in my all electric lawn care business to see how it compares to my Rich solar powered EG4 lawn care trailer I built.
