Solar energy discussion!
Someone claimed the following quote for the UK:
"£10k install quote for a 7kW PV system with a 10kWh battery (2x5) as well as micro inverters."
This is an unbelievably cheap quote, but someone pointed out in the comments that even then, such a system in the UK will have more than 20 years of payback time, and will barely outperform a 5% fixed income investment instrument.
My analysis: That's mostly due to how little sun they have in the UK. In the southwest US, such a system would pay itself back in ~10 years, and there could be additional savings from battery grid management operations.
