Getting some quotes for a battery for the house, and in the meanwhile working up a model to figure out payback times.
The real unknown is future power prices and export rates for solar panels. One has to assume power will not get cheaper though.
Based on the ballpark I got from the first people I rang, might be looking at a 15 year payback time? Not that great. But that assumes prices are stable, and doesn't place a value on being able to survive short power cuts.
Mr Salteena is not quite a gentleman
