    Only if or when storage becomes cheap and widespread, otherwise even if you produced 100x the energy when the Sun shines you’d still need some other source of energy for the rest of the time. There are some glimmers of hope but they perpetually seem 4-5 years out.

      I have 10kwh of storage, which helps a lot, and it wasnt that expensive, especially compared to a few years ago.

      Now that sodium ion batteries are actually starting to become available we will see them taking over stationary storage, but for now LiFePo4 works pretty good.
