From The Limiting Factor.
Where will Elon build his 1 TW of compute and beyound? In this video I define what type of compute he means, explore the limits of the grid, and why eventually AI compute will have to go off-grid or off-world.

These are the part of my system I purchased from Signature Solar:
-EG4 6000XP Off-Grid Inverter (I use this for my grid-tied solar system with battery backup)
-SnapNrack | TopSpeed™ | Solar Panel Roof Mount Kit (you can also get a skirt)
-SnapNrack, GROUNDING LUG
-PV 2 Wire Management Clip
-10 AWG Copper PV Wire | Black and Red
-Staubli | 20A | 1000V | In-line Fuse with MC4 Connectors (your amps may vary)
-I cobbled together the cheapest solar and batteries from other sites. I expected it to save me money, but it ended up costing more for integration and I lost some functionality. If I did it again, I’d just by everything from Signature Solar in a package – they have kits with the batteries, inverter, and panels.
