    So an average Chinese home takes ~1MWh/mo of electricity, they have 100Mwh and they say 300 discharges a year and support 12000 people. So they expect this to cover about a fifth of the energy usage, which seems pretty great.

      Where do you take that number from? 1MWh/mo seems quite high. Also considering that the stored energy will only be used when solar or wind are low, the battery will never be used to supply 100% of the electricity.

      So it will support many more homes.

      Um, why does the average Chinese home consume 1 MWh/mo? Or do they mean the battery capacity would account for one home consuming up to 1 MWh?
