That was exactly my point, and I thought I said so. It may be that the
battery isn't worth the cost. Maybe it's better to just install panels
and lose the excess energy produced if your electric company makes it
too hard or too expensive to give back to the grid.
Why would anyone want to do this when grid power is so cheap ? Some
places are charging $0.30 / kWh or more. That isn't so cheap. Further,
your power may be sourced from coal or nuclear and maybe you would
prefer to find a cleaner source.

It all depends on where you live. Some states have net metering; some don't.
Some even set up roadblocks, or utilities you a big penalty if you dare to
generate your own power.
