a combination of integrated tech would be ideal, re remaking the old distribution wires in towns and cities for this century it is a huge job, but it does need doing
in some places the distribution goes back to late victorian, much is first quarter 20th C, some is modern
ditto the domestic side of the head many houses have shocking one piece at a time wires
my spot on dateable record was 1897, rather thin, copper in silk and varnish insulation and wood twin groove trunking, still powering lights in 1995
stump spurs and legacy circuits from alterations are fun as well
this house has had some of the worst bits mended and replacement circuits for the kitchen, but i would fail it on mk1 eyeball with no need of meter or poking about tools from zoning and legacy issues
if and it is a big if the local and grid networks were renewded to the necessary capacities and full grants were available for panels ,heat pumps, batteries, chargers, connectivity etc, there would need to be a grant for a full domestic side upgrade to "borg" with modern tech without breaking or failing catastrophically
a bit like the swap from coal gas to drilled gas in the 1960's
the profits from renewable are as good or better than those from fossil, it could self fund the infrastructure upgrades needed |
