Honest math for Babylon

A typical Babylon household replacing a gas furnace keeps $7,500 on the heat pump, plus potentially $2,700 on a battery and $1,200 on a water heater if doing those too — a non-solar stack clearing $11,400. PSEG does not rebate solar here, so rooftop is a savings play, not a rebate one.
