For all the money that’s poured into Argentina’s giant lithium deposits, the country has seen just one new mine come on stream in almost a decade. That’s about to change.
My issue with whole home battery is that economies of scale seem to say that solar farms and bigger battery banks would be more efficient than installing solar panels on already habituated areas.
Awesome, maybe I’ll be able to afford a whole home battery soon

They are more efficient however distributed power is better for overall grid resiliency.
Not to mention having a solar system at home with a battery means having power if the grid goes down for any reason.

Cobalt has always been the expensive part. But there are battery chemistries now without cobalt, so hopefully those can be cheaper.
