I am getting solar with battery (in Texas) and I asked all the companies I spoke to when collecting estimates. They said < 10% do. Solar saves you money on the electrical bill and has a chance of breaking even over time. Storage doesn't nearly as much since most people sleep a large portion of the night.
Additionally, I suspect you severely underestimate the additional cost ($10k in hardware alone [2], and that is before you get to permits and labor) and severely overestimate the average American family's ability to pay it [1].
