Having worked out in a post the other day that I could perhaps generate 5000kWh of solar a year, could I use that? My total energy consumption for a year is bang on average at 11500kWh so it would be nearly half my annual consumption. Batteries are now being touted as a way to smooth out the electrical use. On a summer day I might generate 20kWh but I only use 5kWh. The smallest battery at 5kWh would be no use because I'd be needing to store more than that every day. Even 150kWh battery would be storing 10 days of surplus. I don't think this advert is aimed at me.
