← Back to context Comment by lenerdenator 4 hours ago Is the point of the battery not to add 9s with solar? 2 comments lenerdenator Reply boringg 4 hours ago Yes the point of batteries is to add backup power when solar goes down - and it does. However the two of them do not get to 4 9's of uptime which is needed for these large data facilities. lenerdenator 2 hours ago At least in my personal use - which is admittedly far smaller - I just see the battery as the main source. Solar exists to charge it.
