That's great and all, but I'm still waiting for it to be affordable to install my own so that it can also be a whole-house uninterruptible power supply.
Obviously it depends on your use case but at least for me having an uninterruptible power supply for the maybe one day in 4 years that I have a power cut, it isn't worth it unless the installation cost is negligible.
I think for most people putting a few panels on the roof is probably good enough. Especially if they end up getting an electric car in the end which can do reverse charging.
