Ask HN: Does anyone here generate their own electricity?

Not personally, but my solar panels do.

That's nice ! . was it a diy installation at your home ? I am actually struggling to find some real life stories of people who have actually been successful enough at generating electricity by themselves for domestic purposes

No, I paid for them to be installed. 3kW system and it will halve my power bill for eternity.

Interested to find out the same. I recently got thermal solar panels for heating and they're working great but coming into summer, I'm wondering if there's a way to convert the captured energy into electricity.

They generate 130C+ on clear days, which in my mind could be used to generate some sort of steam powered generator.

Has anyone ever done similar?

My own electricity? You mean, like, in my body? Probably, I guess. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nerve

No.. Not your body. Like electricity for domestic purposes .

Yes, but not solely depending on it at this time.
