You can get good batteries for a lot cheaper than a power wall. Just like when the Tesla family of companies tried to do home solar - big premium for the name.

This puzzles me.

When we got solar we asked for quotes, but ‘No Tesla’. The sales rep said ‘We get that a lot’.

  • Haha, I’m actually in process of installing a home solar setup. That’s exactly what I told the installers too.

    I wasn’t interested in hearing any advantages of a Tesla Powerwall, that brand is toxic to me now.

    There’s plenty of good alternatives that don’t fund criminals like Tommy Robinson and Russell Brand.

Like what?

If you have a string inverter setup, I’m not aware of anything good that is cheaper. If you have micro inverters then sure, but otherwise you have additional hardware cost.
