    You need to look up how much grid storage lithium batteries are being built. It’s exponential growth. Faster than solar.

    The reason it’s worthwhile is because solar makes energy with 0 or near 0 price to the owner in certain places, if they store that and use it for later they save money. There are cost calculators out there and for certain markets they make sense.

    Of course Tesla pushes it they got a product people want and it makes the consumer and Tesla money. Win win. That’s business, nothing shady about that.

    Yes batteries are better on the grid but that’s for exactly the same reasons why solar is better on the grid.
