It's a clear calculation
If I do a simple calculation: 5 kWh charge per day x 365 = 1825 kWh savings per year in the best case. Deduct the feed-in tariff of about 6 cents (electricity costs 30 C/kWh), that is 400 euros savings per year. Battery lifetime 15-17 years? Possibly subtract financing costs.
Not worth it in 98 percent of cases.
Just as useless as with solar thermal.
Counter-calculation: Last year I stored 2,600 kWh with my battery. With your 6 cent feed-in tariff and 30 cent electricity costs, that's 624€ per year. Taking your 15 years as lifetime as well, the battery (in my case 10 kWh) must cost less than 9,360€ net, i.e. 11,138.40€ gross. Taxes and rising electricity costs left aside.
And as already mentioned, the 30 cents will soon be very unrealistic. Some are already paying over 40 cents per kWh.
