Electricity isn't just expensive

[harm_less]

Perhaps once the costs of solar drops enough, groups of ordinary people might get together & raise enought to finance solar for their group, in a similar way to the way in which co operatives work, if its possible.

That type of thing is being trialled internationally including in Western Australia: https://www.westernpower.com.au/our-ener...y-storage/

A major advantage in doing this type of community enterprise is that upfront costs for items such as battery storage can be shared thereby becoming more accessible to the less well off.
