While I look for a new job working on clean energy hardware, I’m re-habbing a weatherproof 7kWh battery I built for a Burning Man project last year.

I’m adding:

- A control hub that reads data from the batteries and the solar controller

- Remote and on-device UIs that allow a user to control all the hardware from one place

- A LoRa transceiver that allows monitoring the battery and solar status from a distance

Exploring all of this is fun — there’s a lot of DIY solar and battery hardware out there that needs to be able to sync and coordinate, but there’s not a great software solution for this.

Hit me up if you want to hire me, or give me money to work on this :)
