What environmental damage?
I’ve got 5400Wp of solar panels and a 15kWh home battery. Excess solar power generated during the day is stored and used at night. With the exception of a few months in winter all my power is self generated using solar.
Even when I use grid power in winter I have a contract with the energy company for 100% renewable energy. In winter it doesn’t matter anyway since that 3 watt eventually ends up as heat which means my heating system needs to produce 3W less.

That’s really awesome. But your power setup is very unusual. Few have solar with full battery power storage.

Solar is very common, and I suspect battery storage to become really popular (at least in my country) in the coming years due to legislation changes.
