Hopefully if they mandate for it. They will invest in solar and that should bring the price down for all. Only time will tell though
Hopefully with the massive amount of effort going into battery tech, the price continues to come down rapidly, and we also get new technologies coming out that are a bit more eco-friendly
Nah, grid scale pumped storage is where it's at. Much cleaner.
Genuinely curious - but what about for "self reliance" / redundancy options on a residential scale?
That's definitely an advantage to having your own storage, how much that's worth very much depends on the individual customer though.
