Without government subsidies, few people are going to be dropping $20k on a battery system and another $10k on a solar panel to charge it to save $100-200 /month on their electric bill.


Yep. If the government doesn't pay for most of it, people won't be able to afford the initial investment. Louisiana this year got rid of the tax subsidy for solar panels, and those companies are going out of business right and left.
