From the post:

>A man has managed to power his home for eight years with a system using more than 1,000 recycled laptop batteries. This ingenious project, based on the use of electronic waste, has proven to be an environmentally friendly and economical solution, without the need to even replace batteries over the years. This system also uses solar panels, which were the origin of his renewable energy project that he started a long time ago and which has been enough for him to live during this time.

Yeah, in the article it notes that he moved it all to its own shed away from his house. That's what my plan is when I move if I can get enough land. I will have a battery building with all of the gear away from the house to limit any issues in the event of a possible fire.
