if you're interested in heating only, then geo-solar hybrid might be better for you. the point is that excess heat from solar collector gets stored in soil near borehole, which can be used for heating in winter. solar heat also gets you hot water year round, and it can be made to work with heat pump or without
all of that without heat pumps too
It is a liquid that after irradiating stores that energy while still cold and can be made to release it in form of heat on demand. but also it's low grade heat mostly useful for heating and not for electricity generation. It would be simpler to just build long range transmission lines or put energy intensive manufacturing near PV farm in sunny region
it's transparent too so you can just put pv panel underneath to capture the rest
you get 1.6MJ/kg just by irradiating this thing, nothing else is needed and its storable for months as noncorrosive room temperature liquid
to make ammonia you need to have pv to turn light to electricity then make hydrogen out of it then make ammonia in haber process, each step generates losses and none are practical on small scale
there is a problem that it can heat itself up so hard during decomposition that it can just go on without catalyst
aaand it boils water again
they could be just as well from cambodia for all we know
scammers don't give a fuck and you can find them in any country in the world
e2ee is not enough you also need to know what these ends are
