This is the state of politics in our country

14. The type of solar you're talking about, photovoltaic, only work during the day..

The electricity storage problem is not yet solved, currently available batteries are not up to the job..

I have all the pieces except a battery for a near state of the art electric bicycle, I'm holding off finishing my project though because the battery technology is not yet there. Every time I get on the electric bike forum I read new stories of someone who has bricked their extremely expensive battery pack and I just can't afford to throw hundreds of dollars away. When I used to fly electric R/C planes I bricked a couple of packs that cost over a hundred dollars each when a charger malfunctioned but I was working then and had disposable income, now I'm retired and don't have the option of spending that kind of money for a rather large and smelly boat anchor.

Back then I was flying with NiCd cells which are considerably more rugged and abuse tolerant than any sort of Lithium and I still smoked two packs, one of which actually caught on fire.

Lithium batteries are a fire hazard if the electronics malfunction.
