I spent $10k on a whole home battery and it got me 1/3 of my average daily power use.

Good thing you have a sun for most of the other 2/3.

Have you even looked at the power curve of solar system output? You’re being obtuse.

Plus you seem to have completely ignored the last portion of my comment.

I rarely had months where I zeroed out my bill since I was in an area where credits weren’t a thing. My overproduction was sold back at ~$0.03 per kWh. I had to buy at ~$0.12.

You can be snarky if you like. You’re still wrong if you think that’s enough to cover summer days.
