LiFePO4 batteries within the house are the correct resolution.
In winter the panels make nothing anyway, and in summer the houses will essentially run themselves for somewhere between 4 to 8 months depending on peak power usage and panel array size.
Essentially it removes residential baseload and flattens the duck curve so the peak 1600 to 1900 peak can disappear, with the obvious knock on effect of reducing the LCOE.
I'm running a Define 7 XL as a Truenas server. Over 100TB of storage, maximum utility and my wife likes how it looks. It does everything, even the cooling is decent.
The bigger problem, and this isn't in the mainstream news yet, is that all integrated care boards have been told to reduce head count by 50% in December. I just got off an all hands briefing earlier today.
It's probably good, except there will be no quality oversight and private providers will be able to run riot, as there will be no one there check they are doing what they are paid to do.
Ok, stupid question from a stupid person: if I have a phone connected to a local WiFi network, and I type in the URL of a subdomain which points make to that same network ie a hosted service on a home server, what route does the data take from the service back to my phone?
Alternative option: Truenas Scale. Supermicro motherboard. AMD Epyc (used) for lots of PCIE lanes. LSI 9300 and AEC 82885 expander. 16TB+ drives. Rack mount, with SAS back planea. RaidZ2 minimum. Special vdev, NVMe drives and dedicated apps and VM storage, don't be afraid of a converged solution.
Pretty sure truenas scale can host everything you want so you might only want one server. Use Epyc for the pcie lanes, and a fractal design r7 XL and you could even escape needing a rack mount if you wanted. Use a pcie to m.2 adapter and you could easily host apps on them on a mirrored pool and use a special vdev to speed up the HDD storage pool
The role of the proxmox server would essentially be filled by apps and/or VM you could turn on or off as needed.
Probably not that helpful but Truenas Scale and the Nextcloud App, and then just used the Collabora "plugin" as I gave up using a separate Collabora App because I couldn't make them work together. Probably going to have to fix everything again in August when the next TNS update drops (Electric Eel) and enables vDev extensions.
...it isn't down for me...?
