Goodbye to the idea that solar panels “die” after 25 years. A new study says the warranty does not mark the end, and real-world performance can last for decades (www.ecoticias.com)

If he's going to have to install batteries, would it make sense to shove all that permitting money into more batteries and go completely off-grid instead?

At least around here, you can just tell the utility company to fuck off if you are off-grid

Yeah, off grid might work, but the expense of adding batteries is pretty big, and the system meets most of his demand currently. So it's a bit of a hard sell. A lot of money for a small improvement. Their shitty rules have taken the simple easy upgrade off the table.
