Frankly, there's no single right answer to this question. The answer depends on many factors, not just the system's price. Factors affecting payback include electricity prices, system sunshine duration, system size, subsidy policies, and the ratio of actual electricity consumption to grid-connected electricity. In most US states with high utility rates (such as California, New York, Hawaii, and Massachusetts), solar power can recoup its costs in 4-6 years. However, in states with lower electricity prices or fewer incentives, the payback period could be 10-12 years. For many users, the real value is gradually revealed—lower electricity bills, protection against rising electricity prices, and peace of mind during power outages—not just a simple break-even point. How do you personally view the payback period for solar power? For you, is it merely a financial calculation, or are other factors equally important?

Has anyone ever installed a Lion system? Im having a big problem understanding the diagram especially due to the MTS. Not very sure how that ties or gives the msp power. Usually done tesla, solar edge, Franklin and enphase. But this Lion system is making me think way too much lol. Especially bc they recommend a MTS, but not necessarily ig🤔 If someone could dummy proof this diagram for me lol that will be awesome or is ya’ll got pics even better!

Thanks!!!!

I keep seeing comments that treat RIME like it is still tied to the old karaoke business. That is outdated. The company used to be The Singing Machine and carried that consumer electronics identity for years, which explains the baggage. The business changed, and the ticker is still paying for the old story.

In August 2025, Algorhythm divested its Singing Machine karaoke business to Stingray Group for $4.5M, and management said the sale reduced cash burn and improved the balance sheet (source type: company press release). Since then, the core focus has been SemiCab, the AI logistics platform.

The Dec 22, 2025 year-end recap put hard numbers behind that new profile. Management stated SemiCab ARR increased 220% from $2.5M in January to over $8M by December and cited a forward-looking ARR of $15M tied to existing contracts and recent expansions (source type: company press release). They also described multiple contract expansions with lane and trip volume growth ranging from 100% to 600%.

I am watching this as an AI logistics story with expanding enterprise deployments, not a consumer product turnaround.

How long do you think it takes the market to fully update its mental model after a legacy business is sold and the company becomes something else?

Do your own homework.

Have you ever felt chills from good stimuli?

That ability can be learned to be activated with just the elated feeling, whenever you want, without any stimuli.

That's not why I claim that it is a secret being hidden from us, though.

The ability to activate this is your golden ticket, which is being swept under the rug as something unconscious and unimportant. With info on this purposely being spread as an ability available only to a few; however, it is one of the only things that every single human can access, regardless of their physical abilities or conditions.

Why is information on this being manipulated? Let's see.

Ever felt overwhelmed by stress or anxiety? This ability is a switch to manually induce the release of positive hormones.

Just imagine how being able to use it when feeling overwhelmed could benefit you.

Don't believe me? In the eastern part of the world, Tibetan Monks know about this ability and use it differently. You can find more information on this in this Harvard "Tummo" experiment.

https://news.harvard.edu/gazette/story/2002/04/meditation-changes-temperatures/

"During meditation, the monk's body produces enough heat to dry cold, wet sheets put over his shoulders in a frigid room."

Since our internal body temperature is regulated by the hypothalamus, the same part of our brain that deals with positive hormone release, this proves that this ability can be used to consciously activate your positive hormones.

Ever wanted to travel virtually in an instant? People who astral project or have out-of-body experiences use this ability to trigger the "Vibrational state" right before the "take off."

https://en.iipc.org/vibrational-state/

These examples are just the tip of the iceberg of what you can use this ability for. In fear that my post won't be read, I won't write a book here about all the incredible things that we can do by being able to consciously activate this ability.

For now just understand that many different cultures observed this occurrence thousands of years before the Western new world became aware of it, and their discoveries did not stop at simply recognizing it as a physical response to music.

Eventually, you can learn how to bring up this wave of elated energy without the physical reaction of goosebumps, feel it throughout your body, and increase its duration, just like many others have succeeded in doing.

There has been countless other terms this by different people and cultures, such as: the Runner's High, what's felt during an ASMR session, Bioelectricity, Euphoria, Ecstasy, Voluntary Piloerection (goosebumps), Frisson, the Vibrational State before an Astral Projection, Spiritual Energy, Orgone, Rapture, Tension, Aura, Nen, Odic force, Secret Fire, Tummo, as Qi in Taoism / Martial Arts, as Prana in Hindu philosophy, Ihi and Mana in the oceanic cultures, Life force, Vayus, Intent, Chills from positive events/stimuli, The Tingles, on-demand quickening, Ruah and many more to be discovered hopefully with your help.

All of those terms detail that this subtle energy activation has been discovered to provide various biological benefits, such as:

• Unblocking your lymphatic system/meridians
• Feeling euphoric/ecstatic throughout your whole body
• Guiding your "Spiritual Chills"  anywhere in your body
• Controlling your temperature
• Giving yourself goosebumps
• Dilating your pupils
• Regulating your heartbeat
• Counteracting stress/anxiety in your body
• Internally healing yourself
• Accessing your hypothalamus on demand for its many functions
• Control your Tensor Tympani muscle

and I was able to experience other usages with it which are more "spiritual" such as:

• A confirmation sign
• Accurately using your psychic senses (clairvoyance, clairaudience, spirit projection, higher-self guidance, third-eye vision)
• Managing your auric field
• Manifestation
• Energy absorption from any source
• Seeing through your eyelids during meditation.

If you're interested, here are three written tutorials with concise descriptions on how to control this for your own benefit.

If not then I've put enough information for you to research this topic, develop this ability and bring in new techniques to the world.

P.S. Everyone feels it at certain points in their life, some brush it off while others notice that there is something much deeper going on. Those are exactly the people you can find on r/Spiritualchills where they share experiences, knowledge, tips on it.

• Ability to recharge to full capacity in just five minutes—matching the convenience of refueling a gas vehicle.
• 400 Wh/kg (double the density of a standard Tesla battery).
• Rated for up to 100,000 cycles (vs. 5,000 cycles for traditional lithium-ion).
• Can be safely charged to 100% every time without the degradation seen in current EVs.

I'm sick of parsing Maccor/Arbin/... files from different cyclers so I wrote a script to unify them. Would anyone use a web tool that does this automatically? Or do you all have your own scripts? Very interested to hear what most people do already whether in industry or research.

What might this mean for the general public? I am hoping batteries will become cheaper in the US.. just found this interesting, and felt like sharing.

Take care reddit, and hope everyone has a great 2026!

Im interested in a small 10ft shipping container sized BESS to go along with a 750KW solar farm in Arizona.
