The price of the synchronous inverter alone today guarantees a net energy sink. It is not possible to put enough pv derived electricity through a 2 kw $2500 synchronous inverter to pay for the properly accounted for and fully burdened inverter, let alone produce any usable output. Assuming TOTALLY FREE panels.


Completely neglecting the fact that many loads are just fine on DC, or
do not require a synchronus inverter, as there is no grid to tie to.
4h/day = 8 units/day = (assuming my local electricity prices) $1.20 per
day.
Or 5 years, in a sunny climate.

There is no known pv solar storage system available today that even remotely approaches the economy of synchronous grid storage. When properly full burden accounted.
