My Dell laptop battery is a BYD! Surprised when I saw the name. So that’s… Something.

Husqvarna 115H! It’s down to like $600 now. This is going on its 3rd year doing my backyard, and its fking amazing. Once a month I trim the perimeter, but otherwise I dont have to mow most of my yard now, its always the same perfect height, the grass seems much happier with it too.

Or it’s a 20 x 20 house.

Everytime I look into the same thing, it’s always that these dont have a great turndown to small single unit scale.

Where solar is quite modular, putting 1 or 2 of these turbines on a house, that are also not tall enough to get above all the wind blockers (other houses, trees), just won’t make sense for a long time.

Looks like covering big box stores gets around several of those barriers, which is great.

short answer is that yes, it is technically possible, but the cost of capital (which hits you on returns and depreciation cost) to build the entire process and sourcing the raw material (demand for biomass) means that your final ‘product cost’ is higher than cheap corn ethanol, and/or investors don’t see the risk vs reward they’d want to see.
