It would probably not be wise to encourage storage of energies of those 
magnitudes by home-owners. Grid-connect and centralised storage hold 
fewer hazards. Of course, the transmission lines should be underground.

For centralised generation, solar thermal with molten salt storage seems 
to be most promising. The technology is mature, proven and commercially 
available. <http://beyondzeroemissions.org/zero-carbon-australia-2020>.

PS. Craig, again with the no capitals. Doesn't show much respect for 
your readers.
