Anyone buying those 40-50kwh batteries for $5k and expecting them to actually get installed and not be absolutely crap fakes, well I’ve got a bridge to sell you. Both those deals are dodgy as fuck mate lol.
Prices haven’t come down for batteries or solar, not the actual price to consumers. A Tesla solar wall costs more today than they did when they first came out. Cost to produce is not the same as price to customers.
You’re kidding if you think battery prices are going to hit dirt cheap when the entire country literally depends on them because our stupid government are corrupt and incompetent.
Cool, so you’re not off grid. That last 10% is the hardest part, the most expensive part. The part that stops people from ever being able to be off grid.
The price of solar panels and batteries will only go up as we stupidly base our entire grid, life, and economy around them, especially since we aren’t manufacturing them here.
The government will absolutely make it mandatory to be connected to the grid because that’s the only way their desired grid will function.
Because disconnecting from the grid won’t be an option, legally. Not to mention that having enough solar and batteries to go completely off grid would require most households to take out a second mortgage to pay for it.
