Personal Finance (Not Investing) • Solar panels do i need a battery in case of outage

$

Our house is in suburban Chicago with very infrequent outages of any kind in the 10 years we have lived there. I think the longest has been a few hours. But things do happen so I assume a battery is needed? The solar panels net credits incentives will be 3k and battery net will be 7k with a week of power. So my pay back period is 11 years with the battery but less than 4 years without. The battery will partially power the house. I believe i choose 5 critical items to power. They offer a tesla power wall. A full house requires 2 or 3 total batteries.

I think for peace of mind a battery is needed?
