Worth noting that utility scale is always going to be cheaper overall than pushing costs onto the household scale, especially as more and more of the cost of a battery system is in the wiring and inverter rather than the cells themselves.

True, but that most utilities are refusing to pass on the low costs of electricity during certain times on the day / year is making it double disadvantageous for households. If regulators can fix that, I think a lot more people will consider installing batteries in their home for other reasons than just maximum efficiency.
