I'd like to bring to attention the question asked here: https://ift.tt/3d3ehZx """ William Bronson wrote: What can we make to sell from any excess electric? Compressed air? Nitrogen or oxygen extracted from.the air? Ice? Dry ice? Purified water? Milled lumber? Split firewood? Hydroponic weed? Hydroponic hops? Server space? ... """ I'm interested in ways of turning the excess electricity + extra work on my behalf + whatever needed equipment into something which is sell-able / profitable. The prices offered by the government for feeding in electricity into the grid are miserably low where I live. Ideally, the proposed ideas should not be dangerous (e.g. "Compressed air") and not require a substantial initial investment and/or special licensing. The idea of making ice (mentioned above) and selling it, seems actually pragmatic enough, but there is not much demand for it where I live.
