In 25 years time will batteries be cheap enough for us each to have a MWh in the loft?
At $20k/$30k per mwh would make 100 kwh $2-$3k. 100kwh would still be more than you need, and so it is pretty affordable now.
There are some cheap/“bad discharge rate” chemistries like iron air. They’d be too heavy for loft, but could be foundation walls or crate in your back yard. Not a technology likely to be mass produced enough, and shipping costs very high.
What does the world look like when every home has the ability to be energy self-sufficient using solar?
We were at this point in 2019. The raw materials are 1/3 the price today. 100kwh is already more than you need. Corruption of tariffs, and artificial price barriers by electric monopolies and their regulator minions inflate prices in our countries.
