Solar Power Will Soon Be As Cheap As Coal
"Grid parity" is rapidly approaching for alternative energy sources. FULL STORY
Tesla's New Battery Could Solve One Of Solar Power's Biggest Problems
The quest for a good battery that can store home-generated power is kind of like the holy grail for a renewable energy future. This one product might change everything.

Solar power works - though we currently only use our solar battery backup system as emergency (regular power outages) - it works well.
Changing over to a total solar battery backup would require more solar units than what we have and a larger group of batteries, though the Tesla might be even better.
We have had ours since the late 1990's. It has come in quite valuable in providing 110 services on numerous occasions. However, currently it will not provide 24/7 so a generator is also needed. Again if there were more panels and even better battery storage, it would do so.
