Hey everyone,
I hope this isn't inappropriate but I'm at the very beginning stages of designing a power setup for a community I'm going to be building starting in the 2-4 years. There are lots of details to figure out and one of them is power. I could really use some help figuring a few things...
Thanks for all of your responses. A tiny part of me wishes I knew enough to be able to see how the math works out, but I have so many other things to do to plan this community I think I'll probably just leave it here. Thanks especially to @Mr Hairylegs It's good to know I'm not the only crazy...
I am. One of the factors in figuring this out is the difference in maintenance between a single power plant, or 10 different ones. The other thing is if something goes wrong with one of the parts, does it bring down everyone or just some of the capacity?
