On the east coast of Australia, you are taxed for feeding in solar power between 10am and 3pm. They're trying to get more people to install batteries. But the ROI is 5-7 years (at current rates).



Does that mean that batteries are a 14-20% guaranteed investment? If so, that's a fantastic deal.


Maybe batteries, but just using economic incentives to solve the thorny technical problems.


5-7 years should be a no-brainer, that's pretty good value since the panels and batteries easily last longer than that.
