Like you said, a smallish battery is pretty much required, and consistent solar generation, even if it drops in the winter. A battery pack that could handle about ~25% of daily consumption plus a backup propane or gasoline generator along with aggressive DSM via some kind of DIY "kit" would be...
I think there might be a little more work in system integration. Battery costs are dropping, and with the proliferation of inexpensive bluetooth mesh networks (mostly for DSM), there's a good chance that someone will offer a complete off-grid PV system that's both easy to set up and costs less...
I would at least get an MSc while you're younger. Once you're working/etc it can be a bit harder. It's also helpful if you want to get into analytics especially if it's applied.
Like statguy said, there are many positions for data scientists/analysts in a wide range of sectors. There seems to...
Dear sir or ma'am, my receding hairline contradicts your assertion!
Anyhoo, thanks again! The advice has been extremely helpful, and also explains why most of my CC lecturers graded assignments in class.
I've noticed that the pay for part time Math lecturers at CA community colleges appears to be pretty good, ~$45+/hour. My wife mentioned that most CC/college lecturers she's known have to spend more time preparing for and maintaining classes that they're paid for, which leads to them making...
Does anyone have any recommendations for algebraic geometry texts? I've been bouncing back and forth between going back for a MS, and from there who knows, when I can (about three years from now) and since I liked algebra and algebraic geometry, I figure it's something to look into before I head...
