god i wish NiH2 batteries were available/affordable for home use. they require pretty strict control, but they last near FOREVER when properly managed.
It's what we use on my satellite. been in use for 15+ years straight and no signs of quitting. 15 charge discharge cycles a day with about 20% DOD. 2500W load discharges 20% in 35mins though haha. (~99min orbit period, ~50mins charge, ~14mins trickle, ~35mins discharge)
if i had unlimited resources, i'd probably build a similar system. i can only dream.
