Odd it is making news now. I have solar panels on my house from Solar City and had them add a battery with it 2 yrs ago which ended up being a Tesla battery. It is designed to only runs our first floor when the power goes out but I have left if off and it will run en-defiantly as the solar panels are able to charge the battery while I am running off of it even if there is no sun for 5 days. Being in San Diego, 5 days of no sun is not heard of. I am not sure if this is a solution everywhere, but in San Diego where we get alot of sun it was a no brainier for us.

When they first installed it I asked if I could get 3 more batteries but at the time they said it was not a solution to run off. Guess that changed.

FYI Elon Musk's is on the board or something of Solar City is how they were able to use the battery.
