You're forgetting that those batteries are super useful in case of power outages

  1. The last power outage I had was over 10 years ago.
  2. Batteries only work in that case if the inverter isn't "grid-following". Most inverters are, and so when the grid goes down, so do your batteries.

    1. Lucky you. Does nothing to prevent an accident tomorrow down the road, where a worker may cut the mains cable by accident, which will take a few days to restore.

    2. hybrid inverters and transfer switches (even automatic ones) do exist...
