A brilliant idea. And even if you’re not a renter, it’s a brilliant option to buy a home battery and tap into the super cheap and even free rates some retailers are already offering, even if you don’t want to install solar. Combine the two and it’s money for jam, right now we have 9 hours a day where grid power is either entirely free or as good as, and I top the battery up with that if needed, while pumping out the solar to earn feed-in money too. Most days I have so much free energy to play with, I’m not sure what to do with it. I’m praying for clouds! Air conditioning or heating the entire home too. And people want us to spend half a trillion dollars on nuclear plants, ffs. The entire house *and* car are running for free, there’s even a profit in it. Both major parties will likely offer subsidies for home batteries at the election, but I wouldn‘t even wait, that might be another year of free energy you miss out on.
