I've watched Will's video on drilling through a LiFePO4 battery but hadn't gone deeper into his content as I consider going fully off grid a step too far, particularly with 2 EVs to charge, and with Octopus's night rate being so close to their FIT it makes for using the grid a reasonably efficient storage medium.
Being able to buy and sell electricity at almost the same rate pretty much kills the viability of investing in enough storage to make an off-grid existence work for us, and that's how our national electricity system should function if TPTB are really serious about incentivising the masses into contributing to the nation's total generating capacity while ensuring their own long term relevance.
