My solar-powered and self-hosted website

Solar powered sites are cool and fun, but I find it ultimately lacking because so much of the rest of the networking infrastructure is reliant on the grid. It would be more energy efficient to just host the static site on cloudflare or whatever, and use the solar panel to charge some batteries, or something you would normally use the grid for. I suspect overall energy usage would be even lower if the site was hosted on a CDN, due to the CDN operators keeping their machines near full utilization, and fewer network hops required for an average request.

You don't like that the rest of the infrastructure is on the grid, so you're proposing moving the site to the grid too?

the grid is going to continue to get efficiency and renewable energy improvements that help at a much more massive scale.

it's 1000x more helpful to just like only run your big appliances when your grid is using more renewables.
