Will you break even or come out ahead if you buy a power pack battery storage?

I talked to my neighbor this past weekend; He lives about four doors down from me and has the same floorplan I have. He told me he had his system installed in 2015 and hasn't paid anything for power since then. Instead, he makes $30 a month from the power company.
If I can do the same I'll be paying $87 a month for power.
These numbers will change in the future, but only in my favor. My costs will remain the same, while the cost of energy will continue to go and eventually the power company will be paying more for the power they buy from me.
Win / win.
