How can I make money or get a return on my investment and is it worth it?

Unlike the early days of having solar panels, the main value associated with installing a battery, is to reduce your potential energy costs - not getting paid to export it to the grid.

The concept therefore is to be as self-sufficient as possible.

That said, there are retailers out there (e.g. Amber) who will pay you a high export rate, if and when the wholesale market is offering it.
