Global Warming, er Climate Change is a National Security Threat

Quote:I don't think you would need nine batteries. Supposedly, one of these would power a typical home. It's $3500, and includes a DC/AC converter. Don't just reject this without actually reading it.


And, there is no "good" mutual fund that pays 8% interest.


As you have stated, the problem with solar power is that it isn't stored. So it doesn't work at night. A battery such as this stores solar power and allows the homeowner to use it at night. No breakthrough, just an obvious answer to the problem.
 

I read it. The DC/AC converter is not included.


 

The S&P averages over 8% over the long term. I would expect a 'good' mutual fund to do better.

 

One battery will not power a typical house. 7.5 KWh per day = 500 watts for 15 hours (and nothing for the other nine). I average over 40 KWh per day, and my house is small. OK, that's only six batteries, not nine. These batteries typically last about 5 years in cars. It makes me wonder what exclusions are built into the 10 year warranty.


 

A good battery would go a long way toward making home solar viable. This battery isn't it.
