What Solarpunk Tech do you own? (slrpnk.net)

Kind of curious what tech people own, everything from small to big tech. Assuming solarpanels are a given for a lot of peeps here, or maybe will be in the future. But what other tech do you own that you're happy with?

I'm not sure this counts, but the best upgrade I ever made for my home was having new windows installed 20 years ago. I couldn't open the old ones.

During the summer, most days I can avoid air conditioning just by opening the windows and getting a cross breeze. I hear my neighbors' airco turning on, while I am smug with the knowledge that I made a long-term frugal and green investment.

I'm so jealous :( we just got new windows to improve the insulation rating. I'd love to open them and do the same but I legit start having medical issues over 73° which we hit most days in the summer.

I'm so sorry you have that problem. The window insulation should still help, though.
