Ah yes. This is why batteries in Aus cost the same as they did 10 years ago. Capitalism working as intended

Think of all the profits you're delivering to shareholders!

Batteries definitely do not cost the same.

Well that's a compelling case you make there.

Have a counterpoint:

Solar battery average price in 2018 was $10k for 10kw Its now $12k for 10kw.

So you're actually right! The price has increased.
