   	Well that is when the state steps in to force the monopolistic electrical   
   companies to pay decently if the power is reliable.  Panel can run homes   
   here   
   in the SF Bay Area.  Apartment houses may use them for the hallway lighting   
   and some other functions.   
   	Solar panels are constantly improving as well and in 20 years when the   
   original installation is declining in output better panels will likely   
   be available.

   	But he had nothing to do with the design of the battery, nothing to do   
     with the installation and he just pays for whatever he is using out of   
   the very   
     high pay he is making as set by the Tesla Board of Directors.   
      
   	The battery generally can be charged by grid power as well so one   
   might start with the battery so that in case of power failure the  house   
   can still operate as "a machine for living".   
   	   
   	Addled he is indeed hating his transgender child but i think that he is   
   suffering more from access to power than drug-addled lunacy.  He dumped   
   $243+ Million into the Trump campaign so i think it is power that is like   
   so many driving him engage with nonsensical matters.
