Thankfully, there is a silver lining to NBT. Evening electricity rates skyrocketed to 40-75+ cents/kWh in the hotter months. This means most California homeowners that add a 20 kWh battery to their new solar system can get a 7-9 year payback, since they can charge the battery during the day and use the stored energy in the evening. As a result of the attractive
