"Solar Day And Night - Bringing Battery Storage To The Masses"
Even the ABC is saying that is a dopey idea.
"Is battery storage worth it?Mr Barnes said he's not convinced a battery is a financially sound option for the average suburban household.
"A lot of people think about adding a battery, the idea being, 'well, if I don't use it during the day I'll store it and use it during the night'," he said.
"I'd suggest for most households that's still not a terribly cost-effective option, just because of the price of the batteries.
"They're still relatively expensive for what they deliver and I would suggest that a lot of homes won't get payback for them within the lifetime, within the warranty of the battery."

Luckily for punters there will now be a scramble to subsidise batteries from woke govts. Still. the usefulness of a 6 or 8 kw battery that you must not drain is pitiful if you want to run air con."If you want to spend a bit more, buy more panels rather than put in a battery."
