How viable would something like this be for powering a home? Solar panels+this?

[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 3 months ago

Not very. There's a different sodium based battery being designed for home storage. Not nearly as energy dense, but will last a very long time, can be left outside the house, and uses cheap components (no lithium or other rare metals).

That's the battery you'll want.
