...when I built the training center and incorporated solar into the design, I initially dismissed including battery storage, due to cost. But that building is on the farthest opposite corner of a 13+ acre rectangular lot from the other buildings on-site, so it would have been prohibitively expensive to run power lines from the whole-site capable generator.
I caved and added battery storage with enough capacity to fully operate the entire building for ~3-4 days (largely weather-dependent), and beyond that, a small pad-mounted generator can handle the "basics".
Because solar was included in the initial design, installation cost of the panels was significantly lower than retro-fitting an existing structure, so that off-set some of the total cost. The battery storage system basically cost as much as the actual solar array, but qualified as part of the total installation in terms of "incentives".
It took several weeks of "number crunching" to arrive at a final "plan" that made sense.
If you're contemplating adding solar, I'd be looking to do so sooner rather than later, as the utilities seem to be lining-up against home solar.
