Could billions of little micro solar power plants feed the whole world via our phone lines?
Imagine if everybody had a few solar panels on their roofs, their balconies, their garages. And then imagine them feeding right into the phone network, simply because it’s in place already, and people sending electricity to a location that’s currently in the dark via the internet.
There, users would light their LED lamps with it (presuming a future now where your average household lamp consumes not 100W, but 3 or something).
Would that work?
No, because phone lines can’t handle the kind of current you need to do something meaningful. Besides, if you want to do distributed power, why not have everyone be largely self sufficient and then just dump excess capacity onto the grid or pull off capacity during peak loads (it’s a rhetorical question).
You have a creative idea, but sorry it won’t fly.
