Undecided Matt Ferrell did this with his new home minus the springs, he uses his underground for geothermal. I'm basically doing a retrofit. Solar panels on roof and in my yard if I need them to meet demand. Sodium batteries if I can get a good deal, else I'll find a wrecked EV on the cheap and get the batteries.

I hope you aren't putting wrecked EV batteries anywhere there may be flammable anything, such as near your house, your neighbor's house, a forest...

“Wrecked EV battery” usually actually means batteries that were in damaged shipping containers. Perfectly good and never used for anything, but not sellable for car use anymore.

At least all the ones I looked at were like that.
