My issue with whole home battery is that economies of scale seem to say that solar farms and bigger battery banks would be more efficient than installing solar panels on already habituated areas.

They are more efficient however distributed power is better for overall grid resiliency.

Not to mention having a solar system at home with a battery means having power if the grid goes down for any reason.
