I’d also go for the four fins. Easier to do and more robust, since you can prepare two V shaped double fins, put them together outside and the slide them into the main body together.
Also pretty cool to play with: a bottle rocket. Take a regular plastic bottle, turn it upside down. Add fins to make it stand. Attach a manual bicycle pump to the bottleneck. Fill the bottle a little bit with water and pump it up until the pressure releases the bottom seal.
Edit: make sure that the bottom seal can eventually slide off to release the rocket.
My 5min search resulted in this guide on it: https://www.science-sparks.com/making-a-bottle-rocket/
As cool as it looks you may want to consider dulling the tip , depending on the age and body control of your child.
For the fins I’d just use a hand saw to make slits and glue them right in. Harder to break them off. For four just cut a cross in the bottom. For three cut from the sides.

1·4 months agoAbsolutely, the material cost for such a system is about 7-10k strongly dependent on the battery. The other ~10k is for setting stuff up (which takes about 1-2days).
The small balcony systems can be setup by pretty much everyone. They also have the best ROI compared to bigger energy producers.

2·4 months agoA reasonable sized solar power system with around 10kWp and 10kWh battery costs at least 16k€ in Germany when done by a professional. Depending on your power consumption in general this can be a bad investment even with a heat pump. Therefore I would separate this from the costs of a hwat pump, since it is not strictly required. Especially since you can get energy plans selling power for ~26ct/kWh.

Looks great. Hope the glue is sturdy enough. If your toddler isn’t to hard on it this will work too :)
