@isotopp@infosec.exchange @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com but batteries are terribly expensive. I have 5 solar panels and I've completely recovered that investment in less than two years because they were subsidised.They would cover half my daily needs if I could use all the production. So I've considered buying batteries, but there's no way I can recover that investment in a reasonable timeframe. At least not with the current electricity cost, which is very low.

@Disputatore@masto.pt @notjustbikes@social.notjustbikes.com 20 kWh battery cost me 7280 Euro incl installation here. 30 kWh are possible, and cost marginally more. https://www.zonneplan.nl/thuisbatterij/kosten I have other costs for a freestanding house in the Greater Amsterdam area, and while the battery costs are not so small that they are immaterial, they are not "terribly expensive" – one and a half very good Kalfhoff e-Bikes, or 1/3 annual cash bonus.
