Electrical generation is largely separate from imported crude oil (what the article is about).

It takes a lot more than $5K to build a system that can replace a household's energy use. For 24 hour coverage you need substantial battery capacity, too.

To cover theoretical EV charging it gets even more expensive.

Prices continue to come down, but it still takes a lot to actually replace all of a household's energy usage with solar.
