I feel the storage battery (a larger-scale bank) should be located in the garage or a battery box outside.

These nickel iron batteries would be ideal for this home application. http://ironedison.com

The most important technology mentioned in this article is the ability to pull energy off the grid when rate are low, and store it for later use. Hypothetically you could buy it cheap and sell it back when rates go back up during peak demand. So, you see… the car battery is not going to be a long-term solution to the very real problem of storing energy throughout the night.

I install solar power panel systems in Australia. Need more people here to have better access to EVs http://www.cairnssolarpanels.com.au
