    The best setup would be a dynamic electricity contract and solar panels + batteries + heat pump or airconditioning, optionally EV.

    Using only batteries will lead to diminishing returns because of the surge in batteries everywhere, having an overall stabilizing effect on energy prices throughout the day.

    Store the excess PV energy in batteries during the day and, at times when electricity is expensive, sell it or use it for home appliances, heating or EV charging.
