I don't believe you are, but this line :

> Home-scale battery systems is clearly a bad idea IMO.

.. makes me think you're trolling.

There are plenty of places where people need storage on their side of the meter, and the idea that you can better democratise power supply by having it owned by a large multinational or nation state owned entity sounds ludicrous.

The $20k (I'm assuming that's usd?) for 'a couple of hours power' is just plain disingenuous.

For anyone plonking down $800k for a bespoke abode, spending $30k for gen + storage, with or without grid connection, seems a minor addition to the capex.
