Yes, if given a choice LiFePO4 (LFP) are safer than Lithium Ion. That said they are bigger per kWh, so if space if a concern you have to keep it in mind. Either way they offer the same type of performance.

All these "solar generators" have Lithium batteries, and most allow you to pile up several of them to increase autonomy.

Below are an Excel sheet and word files I created a year ago for a friend (so not fully up to date) on these integrated solar backup generators and their use for trailer / Tiny living, in case it can be useful.. Solar equipment.xlsx Sizing solar for RV.docx

Some of the integrated battery backup systems (like Ecoflow, Oupes, Bluetti, Anker and others) may also have such options in their managing App

First, the solar production throughout the day looks like a bell curve, so you dont get the full power all day. Under my conditions, during the longest day of the year a 320W panel that produces 280W at best would produce about 2,200 Wh or the equivalent of almost 8 hours of full production...

The current efficiency of solar panel is between 20 and 25%, this means that out of 100 watt that hit them they only produce 25W. That said the rating of a panel describes the actual power it can output under ideal sun exposure. So a 320W panel can output 320W under ideal sun exposure and...

Data centers and crypto are becoming the two biggest threats to our never ending ever increasing energy consumption

Unfortunately NOT, space is a perfect vaccum so getting rid of heat is VERY HARD (no convection, no conduction nothing to take the heat), it acts as a thermos on satellites....

Yeah but there are a lot of hurdles to overcome, heat dissipation being a huge one.... and of course maintenance....

welcome to energy independence :)

I think it is just because it is marketed as an alternative to the traditional gas generators. It makes it easier for people to identify the purpose.

There are still a couple available online on ebay

The biggest AI threat beside being used by ill-intentioned individuals to screw people, is that it is making people more lazy and stupid by the minute :) Some people are actually monitoring this and it does not look good.
