Not a fanboy statement just a fact. This guy has 90kw of solar panels and spent $500,000 to set it up with $400,000 from a government grant. This is not practical or useful for normal citizens.
A normal household with battery + solar panels only really needs a 10-30kw solar system for fully off grid including charging an electric car.
If you get 28 kw of battery storage + 20kw of solar panels it would cost you around $40-50k to install in Australia. In USD that would be around $30,000.
Ohh and then you have maintenance costs for fuel cells and electrolysers and storage tanks etc that obviously aren't free and could end up costing a fair bit while solar panels and batteries last 15-25 years and maintenance free.
This BS "Building the future" on hydrogen is just a waste of government and citizen money and will never be practical for normal households.
Also notice that all hydrogen plans are always based on government funding and can't ever stand on their own business models. Products and pricing were never compelling and even with decades head start fell behind solar+Battery and Evs instantly.

You're not going to get any hydrogen facts hanging around any Tesla sub. But you aren't really interested in facts, are you.
Watch what happens in a place you'll never read about on /r/teslamotors or r/electricvehicles - where any talk of H2 FCV's is prohibited - lol.
