"Batteries are undoubtedly part of our energy future. Should you put one in
your home now to store solar output, manage your energy use and cut costs? It
really depends on what you want to achieve.
Studies in 2017 and 2021 identified key motivations for installing home
batteries:
* using your own solar energy
* good for environment
* independence from the grid
* saving money.
With these goals in mind, our research suggests it’s hard to justify buying a
battery right now on cost savings alone. If other reasons also matter to you,
it might be justified."
Not mentioned in the article but also worth considering: flow batteries, using
an EV as a home battery.
