Plan on spending 10k every 10 years or so. Those batteries only provide enough power for a few hours - you need a bank of them. And the have a fixed life.

Yes, I hear you.

My electric bill is not even high at less $100 a month. But like a true bleeding heart liberal, I want to do it even if it doesn’t make sense :rofl:

Wary of Being Left in the Dark, Americans Produce Their Own Power

The market for backup generators, microgrids and solar-plus-battery-storage systems is booming as homeowners and businesses grapple with a less reliable electric grid

As the American electric grid becomes less dependable, a growing number of businesses and homeowners are buying their own power systems to protect themselves from being left in the dark.

Twenty years ago, only 0.57% of U.S. homes worth $150,000 or more had installed backup generators, mainly along hurricane-prone coastlines, according to backup-power provider Generac Holdings Inc. GNRC -2.66%▲ Now the number is 5.75%, a 10-fold increase.

Why doesn’t anyone talk about Bloom Energy? It uses the existing natural gas infrastructure and doesn’t have any emissions. Oh right, natural gas is evil now.

Seems like emission is bit lesser in the beginning but increases as it ages

They seem only slightly better than Theranos.

  • Company eyes locations in Oklahoma, Kansas; talks ongoing
  • Plant to turn out ‘4680’ cells for Tesla, potentially others

.

These two offers very good deals? Enough to compensate the cost of trucking along I-35 to Tesla Gigafactory?
