The tesla power wall is a rip off.
If you only want backup power a generator is better.
If you want to go off grid and live in a manor that resembles normal life you don't want a power wall.
If figure my leaf battery will hold around 20kwh and only cost me a deposit charge or around $1,000 to $2,000.
So far that's the cheapest way I have found to get kwhs.
Lead acid about $200 per useable kwh for a used forklift battery.
When I say useable kwh that really means 2 kwhs because if you regularly use all your batteries kwhs it will be dead in about a year.
