If you have haven't seen it yet, Elon Musk's unveiling of the Tesla Powerwall is well worth watching.

I mean this is it - this is the future. This is the end of oil, the end of coal, the end of nuclear. He's making happen what people have always talked about, but have never been able to realize.
We had some solar guys out here last year, and we had the full 3D designs and quotes for solar panels, but as soon as I realized you don't get to keep any of the energy from them, it all get pumped back into the grid, I lost all interest. This is the game changer. No more electric company, no more power cuts, no more overhead electric cables. Hey, you even get to keep power during the zombie apocalypse.
I know it's not quite that simple. We we only able to get about 60% of our energy covered by the proposed panels, for example, and you'd also need enough energy to power your vehicles and so on as well. But I don't doubt all issues can be solved (for example, more efficient panels).
