At residential pricing, storage has just now become cheap and scalable with current LFP tech. $200/kWh for DIY install is not hard, and you get thousands of cycles from that.
Prices are continuing to fall, and we will see where sodium batteries end up on the cost/safety side too as they start to be scaled up over the next few years.
