Hmmmm. Huge battery pack bought via Alibaba explodes and destroys house. There might be a cautionary tale or two in there. Like 30kWh of energy stored in compact metal boxes of dodgy provenance and mounted right inside your home.

pv magazine InternationalInvestigators still uncertain about cause of 30 kWh battery explosion in GermanyA lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery system recently exploded in a home in central Germany, preventing police and insurance investigators from entering due to the high risk of collapse. The explosion may have been preceded by off-gassing, but it remains unclear whether an external ignition source was the cause. Some scientists say thermal runaway may have triggered the blast.
𝕂𝕚𝕂𝕚 @ukuku This makes so much sense, with or without #SolarPower, depending on budget.
First of all, the backup #HomeBatteries use old EV batteries, giving them a second life. Then the EV itself now has a second use, as a backup battery.
Finally some competition for the #Powerwall, which seems to enjoy outrageous pricing in the absence of more alternatives.
