Nope, not at all, I wasn't aware I was engaged in an argument.
It just makes more sense in a lot of cases to let the utility provider convert to solar than turn your house into a power station you then have to secure accordingly and maintain.
I'm not interested in having to surround my property with barbed wire topped chain link fences, which is what you'll see around power stations for good reasons.
- ggm 8y agoMostly risk of death reasons. Solar and battery are not high on my list of lifestyle and risk components any more than a car parked outside or plants are. Maybe you live in a much higher crime risk area. I know (for instance) honey hives in NZ are being predated by gangs so I can believe there are portable high theft risk things in rural settings. But I'm really unsure a Tesla battery rig is one. I've had plants stolen. I still maintain my garden..

- Dylan16807 8y agoHow much do you value your time? Gardens tend to be pretty expensive when you add up the hours for a decade or two!
- ggm 8y agoAh yes.. economic efficacy meets relaxation and hobby. You can't buy pre-read books quite the way flann O'Brien wrote about but it feels like we're close. Having said which, close friends ran bespoke gardening for richer garden aesthetes. Back to the lead topic. PV is worth doing but assess your theft and vandalism exposure in risk/cost benefit.
