content: Quote from: Muttley Snickers on September 20, 2015, 10:14:57 amMight be much cheaper and clean to get a lot of free energy from the sun at thermal solar than loose in conversion to battery packs like tesla wall, etc.I invested in my a few kW CSP and I believe it will cost small percentage thatn this:QuoteThey wrote on this page:QuoteYep, do not loose out with the current electricity rates, but loose $es to TeslaAnyway, I will run soon my few kW flywheel energy storage system and... it will be winner for meI need more and more high power multi phase synchronous rectifier drivers and I will manufacture soon them - not in China ... at home in EuropeBTW: What is estimated cost of this 7kW tesla wall and how long time it can keep at least 5kW with baterries degraded in time-just to estimate ROI?

So if you generate 1KWh during the day and use 1KWh at night, you dont pay anything. Unlike 'stralia. So powerwall is pointless. In some countries, feeding back pays more* than consuming so storing energy makes no sense. Of course, this will break the entire power ecosystem on the long term.*complicated
