Do you think I wouldn't agree with that? What a weird thing to ask. I'm literally saying "the conversation should be dominated by the long term benefits rather than your wallet." That means ghg.
A lot of this depends a lot on where you live and what your energy mix is to begin with, so there's no one size fits all answer. My issue isn't with any of these specifics though, it's that the conversation is always dominated entirely by "will it result in me paying less in the short term?" which is exactly the kind of short term thinking that's gotten us into this mess.
Anyways, I think it's too early for widespread use of battery systems, for sure. I'm also personally not keen to put a giant fire hazard into my house or garage if I don't have to. I think the tech for solar and the tech for batteries are on similar but offset curves, where battery storage for an entire home just isn't quite there yet like panels are.
