Who controls battery prices? The supply and demand, competition, consumer, the cost of manufacturing etc.. that's what controls battery prices! Batteries are expensive,have a limited lifespan, making and recycling batteries uses energy, toxic chemicals etc. only reason to use batteries if you were in a secluded location.

As long as the price to sell the energy is the same as the price to buy it, a battery would not be needed because you are breaking even on the exchange. However, if you are selling energy cheaper than you are buying it then you should explore the option of getting a battery system on-site.

Why sell it? Why not store the excess energy on site for in-house use? Battery weight is not an issue for this application. Cheap lead acid batteries would be fine. The savings provided by the utility company's credit system would have to beat the cost of an on-site battery system. I wonder who controls battery prices?
