Pretty sure that MrBWS will want to reserve one of the Tesla batteries when he reads this tonight.
If it works out, he’ll get more later (and hopefully the price will drop then).
Right now, we’re using a bank of gel cells for our solar panels, and we have the wind generator ready to put online. The gel cells were previously used and are getting close to their up-and-die stage.

Even without solar power, if every dwelling had these so power plants only had to be built to average demand instead of peak demand, it would mean a tremendous saving in energy, money, and pollution.
