Much of the innovation in the sector is happening through initiatives outside of this system - including programmes that the govt supports. Distributed generation through smaller plants rather than the mega projects.

How about a 2nd-hand Tesla battery pack and a magic box to make it a 75-95kWh 'powerwall'?

Full unmodified Tesla Model S 85kWh battery pack installed in home solar installation of our Selfish Solar design powers the entire shop. This may also be the simplest solar electric power system you've ever seen assembled.
