The PowerWall is nice but, why not go completely off-grid?
I'm exploring home solar/battery solutions and after reading all about the PowerWalls, I'm wondering, why not a single PowerPack and some solar panels? I'm burning about 27kWh per day on average (much of that to charge my S!). If the sun were re-upping the PowerPack each day, and I never brought its SOC below say 50%... would that be so bad? What am I missing?
Other than cost, you say. Well, how expensive would a single PowerPack be? $25K? And what would the minimum solar capacity have to be to keep it charged?
Ok, donning my kevlar suit. You may begin the onslaught now...
