I mean, I pay around $2,000 (AUD) per annum for electricity from the grid.

If this battery plus some solar panels could get us free power for the next 20+ years, that's easily worth $15-$20k or so.

I am about 2 years in to my off-grid solar setup. The cost for the easement was looking to be about $25k, plus about 30k for the wire, transformer, et.

I live in middle of nowhere so I just built out a system myself. I am about 8k into it. It's not the biggest system (6kw inverter, 4kw panels, 15kwh storage) but it's fine for one old man living a 2kM in the high desert.
