Hi!

I'm planning to try to get into some solar-powered (or low-powered) DIY projects.

I have a mechanical engineering background so I'm not super worried about learning technical stuff but I live in an apartment and don't really have ready access to a workshop.

Does anyone have good projects they've found? Having some creativity issues more than anything else, I think...

You can check on arduino and ESP32 Boards for IoT. That was a hobby of mine, it never took off (albeit, a hobby so it's fine). But I learned a lot about "low level programming" that had no idea it even existed, and there was some interest overlap with self-hosting (home assistant wasn't around at the time, played with Mozilla's mqtt). The latter did took off (I still enjoy doing it).
