I feel like there should be a business model where the customer pays a monthly fee for service but the service is "install and maintain solar + battery". As long as it is a similar price to grid connection, basically just force all users who would be defecting onto the new business model. I think customers would protest a lot less in that circumstance.
As for medical devices and whatnot: the grid is already not 100% reliable. The replacement would need to be of comparable reliability, but I don't think the threshold is 100% reliable. If you've got medical devices critical to your continued existence, you need more redundancy than either the grid or solar+battery.
I don't see is a particularly fair model for stuff like this. Just a bunch of bad or worse options. Honestly I think once cost parity is achieved, a lot of these questions will evaporate.
