Yet the battery could produce more savings than the solar.

Electricity prices can vary by time of day, as demand varies. Charge it at cheap-o-clock, use it at normal times, you make savings.

It can produce more savings sure in terms of electricity costs, but when including capital, solar is presently much more cost effective. In my area some 6.8kw panels have a four year ROI.

95% of what we generate during the goes to the battery and once fully charged we can go days without needing to recharge it
