~Considering the burden in the future ！ Contract for household storage batteries ~

＜ Case ＞
I currently have solar panels installed on my home. A person who came to visit us to do maintenance on them recommended that we purchase storage batteries since electricity rates have been increasing every year, and we signed a contract to pay approximately 2.5 million yen in installments over 13 years. However, after thinking about it, we decided it would be better not to sign the expensive contract because we are getting older and it will be more difficult to pay. I would like to cancel the contract. （ 60s ）

＜ A word of advice ＞
Even if the introduction of storage batteries for home use brings benefits such as lower electricity rates, there are various expenses such as initial costs for purchase and installation work, interest on loans and maintenance costs. In addition to the initial costs of purchase and installation, various other costs such as loan interest and maintenance fees will be incurred. Before signing a contract, carefully consider the costs that will be incurred in the future, and sign a contract only after you are satisfied with the agreement.
Home-use storage batteries have advantages that cannot be converted into economic value, such as their use in times of disaster. Gather information on your own and make a comprehensive decision.
When installing them, it is important to obtain quotes from several companies and compare them before signing a contract.
If you are in trouble, consult your local government's consumer affairs center, etc. （ Consumer Hotline 188 ）.
