$40k seems very expensive to me.

In the UK for £17k you can get 7KW panels and a 13.5kWH battery, installed. That's approximately $21k

To use more battery than that you must be staying up very late!

I paid 60K, but it was 15 years ago. Half of the price was the structure that nowadays is not needed. Today the same installation but on a fixed roof + 20% power to offset inefficiency would cost me about 10K.
