Batteries combined with solar have an ROI if there is no other alternative, like you're on Mars and need to go places and experiment, but the local utility doesn't service your neighborhood on Mars.
It fails when applied as a Band-aid. A passive solar house is prerequisite, with the passive air conditioning coming on the scene currently.

Selfish solar right downtown would be my preference. I've got room for four 39x65" panels.
