As I understand it, the new rules being considered are intended to incentivize an uptake in storage along with solar. That is what I have, but it's expensive, and many folks who would have made the plunge into solar will not do so under these new regs.

@wyrmeboi The story mentioned using lithium ion batteries. Are people using lithium ion or lithium iron, and if the former why?

@Coctaanatis Lithium Iron isn't a thing. Typo. There are new higher density battery technologies (Aluminium-Sulfur, for example) on the mid-term horizon, but for now it Li--ion.

@wyrmeboi They've made a lot of advances with aluminium air batteries, but (unless things have drastically changed) they're not rechargeable.

The advantages of lithium iron phosphate are safety, long-life and absence of cobolt. The additional weight is a problem in a car, but not so much for other applications.

@wyrmeboi Sorry, I wasn't aware of the work on aluminum-sulfur batteries. Sounds promising, hope it works out.
