@NailClippings@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social Truly, “how many batteries” is the only real decision — other than choosing a good installer (who can also do all the future work you may need, like EV upgrades)
The correct answers include zero, 1, 2 and 3.
They are still expensive enough to stop and 🤔 but it is NOT an obvious ruling out, until you get out the spreadsheet and see if you can sign up for wholesale “tariff” prices
Without a battery, wholesale rates are insane. (Don’t do it!) WITH a battery, retail tariffs are a crying shame — money left on the table.

@whophd@ioc.exchange @NailClippings@mastodon.social @atpfm@mastodon.social also batteries are finally getting cheaper! check out EG4, something like 2-3x cheaper than tesla products, and they are gonna qualify for the "made in usa" requirements as laid out for revisions on tax credits https://eg4electronics.com/categories/batteries
