Know one will hedge power with batteries vs the power companies. The power companies can just change there pricing and bend you over.

If you invest in batteries. You need to generate power regardless of them. Some Examples !
- PV or Solar panels
- Stick up a wind turbine
- Charge your electric car at work. Discharge it at home with enough juice too get back to work
- On a hill a with a stream. Put up a water tank and mini Hydro the shit out of that stream.
- On the coast. Wave energy.
- Make a cult and get followers to peddle all day to generate power.

In what way are residential batteries and PV not saving money ?

You would have to be a moron to put in only batteries to save on peak / off peak power. That is a given. I child knows that.

So you put in a system. Look at you power bill saving over the first year add in the tax incentives. Most are paying off themselves in a 15 years +/- 5 years with good warranties on batteries and PV cells. After that your saving pure CASH MONEY. House hold appliances will only get more efficiency over time when replaced.

Save Money.
