[quote=ocrenter][quote=AN]I wonder if the number works out, if you have solar w/ TOU and you get a Tesla Powerwall or something like it. The logic is that, solar will generate power at $0.48/kWh during the summer. We can use that power at night at $0.17/kWh. At the same time, we can charge the Powerwall at $0.17/kWh at night for usage during the day at $0.48/kWh. I need to run the number to see if it make sense (all depends on how much the powerwall or other battery pack cost), but briefly thinking about it, it seems to make sense.[/quote]

Even better, what if the Powerwall can return electricity back to the grid during the peak hours. you can store at $0.17/kwh and sell it back at $0.48/kwh!!! You’ll be able to make back the ROI for the Powerwall in no time![/quote]That’s the same thing, right? Either you sell it back to the grid or have enough to cover your peak usage, either way, you’re storing and purchasing at $0.17 and use/sell at $0.48. It would take ~23MWh to break even, assuming it cost about $7k installed of the 10kWh powerwall unit.
