After the 2022 energy crisis we renovated our house and moved fully electric. Heatpump, induction cooking, battery, etc...

It was already a easy financial case to be made, let alone the extra comfort. But now it's a no-brainer. I get €100 back every month now, while others around me pay up to €300 per month.

The way the Chinese manufacturers are scaling production of batteries is something to behold.

In 2022 I bought 20kWh + 10kW inverter + installation for €7500.

My buddy just ordered a 54kWh battery for €6500... And it's not slowing down, they're only gaining speed with the introduction of over cheaper materials like Sodium batteries.

The Chinese are the only reason I remain somewhat optimistic of our chances of combatting climate change.

Europe is too lazy, the US just gave up, really.
