A battery's tariff-arbitrage saving — charging cheap, using expensive — starts from day one, entirely independent of whether solar is ever added. Waiting for solar means waiting to start capturing a saving that's already available now.
Showing the estimated monthly saving a battery would already be generating, multiplied by however many months a customer might delay for a future solar installation, turns an abstract “maybe later” into a concrete number worth weighing.
Generally yes — a battery installed first typically integrates fine with solar added afterward, which is worth confirming explicitly to remove that hesitation too.
It tends to come up most with customers who've already been reading about solar specifically, rather than battery storage on its own — worth listening for as a cue.
