Sodium batteries about to hit the market next year, at $20/kWh, and lots of cycles - free energy for life.
Comment on Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity

Here in Australia, the fact that basically everyone has solar panels, combined with our aging infrastructure that can’t handle the exports, means feed-in-tariffs have dropped to basically nothing.
So it really is a use it during the day kind of mentality here.
Outside of daylight hours, we have the most expensive power in the world

Can you direct me to the source of that?
Our govt is cutting payments for energy put back into the network in 2027 and I would like some batteries.

About one in three houses according to government website.
I am sceptical about that figure because here in South-West Sydney I count about one in five.
