- Initial investment was around €2,500, but the system has likely paid for itself.
- Energy storage capacity grew from 7 kWh to 56 kWh over time.
- Glubux sourced batteries for free from individuals and companies.
- The project demonstrates the potential of circular economy and energy self-consumption.
- Technical challenges included cell balancing, electrical safety, and storage management.
- The initiative aligns with global efforts to reduce electronic waste.
