I've got plans to add a mid-sized solar system to my home this spring, and I'm wondering if there's a community appropriate for discussing that, asking questions, bouncing ideas around, etc.

The various technology communities seem too generic and more focused on tech coverage in the news. There's solarpunk technology, but it seems more about "here's how to use a magnifying glass and aluminum foil to cook an egg in 6 hours" and I'm looking for more practical discussions and solutions.

So is there a community for PV enthusiasts to talk shop?

I saw that one in the feed, but like the technology communities, it seemed more "in the news" in tone. But the !offgrid@slrpnk.net community linked in its sidebar might be appropriate.

Yes, that looks like a better fit.
