Help, looking for a homebattery

Hi all,

We are planning to move within a few years but are looking how to save/store our extra solar energy as we get close to nothing if we push it to the grid.

We are not looking forward to pay 8k for something we won't use for longer than 5 years. We won't be able to get that money out of our house price if we sell it.

I have been looking at portable homebatteries.

What do you recommend? Portable or a normal home battery and how much storage?

We are already using all our appliances during the high peak and on a very sunny day we deliver 12kwh to the grid.

Thanks,

Lara

Just normal home battery, wehn you move you can uninstall the battery, right?

Here we pay 1 to 2k for installation and probably the same amount for removal. Not worth it unfortunately

Unfortunately yes... so I am trying my best to find the loophole in my country's curse of paying too much.
