Batteries are to costly and their life span is not long enough for me to justify their expense.

Right now I am paying roughly $2300 a yr on electric. A battery/solar system is going to run $50-$60 thousand. Before financing cost, it would take over 20 yrs to hit the break even point and that at the low end of $50k.

I wish the federal subsides were higher to make the systems more affordable. I think anything we do to reduce fossil fuel use would be a good thing in the long run.
