Home electricity bills are skyrocketing. For data centers, not so much.

I have something like that I bought here in the US but the power generated won't power the whole home. It does charge my emergency battery though for when the power is out.
Right but the way I understand it is if you get the plug in style and let it generate some power during the day it will offset your usage and save you money on the bill.
Yes, lile that. There are also types (like the Anker generators for mobile homes / boats etc) which can run stand-alone, but the German balkony solar panels just add cheap supply to the domestic power use by plugging it into the household AC system.
I think you guys running 220 through the whole house is why we don't have that stateside, just a guess.
