I’ve had solar panels on the roof for nearly 5 years, but didn’t get a battery initially because it was a bit spendy. I’m seriously considering getting one now though. It’s still not cheap, but will eventually pay for itself thanks to the difference between what the energy co charges me for power vs their buyback rate. That’s as long as I stay in this house - I don’t have any plans to move currently. It would be good to be more independent from the money-hungry energy companies.
