[QUOTE="rdst_1, post: 2190166, member: 25986"] The batteries are the only reason I can't go for solar at this stage no matter how much I want to as it doesn't make economic sense for me because govt supplied electricity is very cheap for me. I want to go for solar for reliability and clean ( no voltage fluctutations) electricity as well as lowering the carbon cost. However, unless Li-ion batteries become affordable or I can find some cheaper way of storage, I don't think I can make the switch to solar. In my case, I am thinking of battery life as maximum 5 years and for me the costing comes out as same considering today's tariff in my state and hence there is no break-even in 7-10 years as it is for people in other states. Sure, the tariffs will rise but the interest I get from the bank on the 5-6L that I will need to invest right now should easily cover up the inflation in the tariffs. I was looking at storing solar energy as compressed air and will have to do more research on that aspect and see if it can work for me. [/QUOTE]
