Once demand-led pricing takes off, the battery suppliers will
really get into gear to sell you your own peak-lopping kit. They
should be able to fudge the figures enough to convince some.

I guess that, if the price curve is steep enough, battery systems
really might be viable.


I afraid that it isn't.

Car batteries are perhaps the largest volume lowest cost battery.

Thousands of pounds of batteries and inverters that would scarcely last
a couple of days .... of charge and probably 5 years of service life?

Peak electricity would have to be up in the £1 a unit...
