       Wow. Did you know this? There exist *power over fiber* components that can provide 3v 180mA from 1.5W of 800nm infrared light coming through a standard multimode optical fiber.These are very expensive, but also very cool!https://www.farnell.com/datasheets/2785190.pdf

       @f4grx With these, any dirty or scratched up connector becomes self-splicing. Very convenient!

       @f4grx wow. I expected expensive (two digits), but indeed: these are _very_ expensive (three digits).

       @f4grx at first I was like blah blah blah this is just thingy. Then I read the document. Did you catch this? That it is a power converter from light to energy at 50% 25c reference? 45% at 85c?Lets take your standard home roof? thats 139 kilowatts per hour. 695 kilowatts for the standard 2000sqft house. per day, the average house uses? 936 per month. thats a surplus of 20203kWh per home per month. This will change everything when its scaled up. Standard Constants used. 2000sqft house = 3000sqft roof = 278 m21000w/m2 = .500w/m2 at 50% Average consumption = 936kWh for residential home in usa. standard day solar insolation = 5hr the rest is easy math.
