The problem arises if you physically cannot put sufficient panels on your roof. I have 6kwh, and would prefer 15. I have 1 Powerwall and 3 would see me through. I can’t put more up there, and even swapping to the high yield panels would only increase my system by 2kw.
To get the return on investment, eco cloud, you are correct, but you need to be able to ensure you are not pushing up daisies for at least 10 years after install.
Ideally, new homes are DESIGNED for solar.
In Israel where solar hot water has been a feature for 70odd years, the tanks/panels have been an eyesore. Not the close coupled systems we see here. New construction includes a niche on the roof to accommodate the units which “disappear “. The same principle needs to apply here.
