Australians set to waste money on batteries

The use for load shifting was an add-on, intended to show that take-up of such batteries might not be the environmental positive that some assume.

My expectation remains that the market will consist of people naively thinking they can save money by either adding these to an existing solar system, or buying both a new solar system and the battery at the same time. This will be aided marketing types making misleading claims[*], and by the widespread lack of understanding of discounted cash flow.

Which would be a rather silly way to do it when going to all LED lighting of mainly just the wavelengths for chlorophyll requirements can cut said huge bill down to below 10% of previous growlight solutions.

Or indeed fitting one or more of those 'daylight tube' skylight systems and supplementing it with LED lighting (for photoperiod manipulation, required for multiple crops a year) would still likely be much cheaper than PV panels and battery storage.
