Shows how expensive solar still Is I guess...
He's bragging about charging at 25c/kWh, and selling at $2/kWh.
25c/kwh is still atrociously expensive costs.
Though I get that peaker power is several (in this case 8x) times more expensive... a nuclear or coal plant can't just crank out 800% as much power during peak hours, still shows that for baseline power solar isn't that great.
Used batteries will never fall much in price if they still have value, and they have value to people other than just us.
