forget Palladium, LENR is not Palladium; When things settle down, maybe nickel, Maybe tungsten, or some other transition metal, maybe iron. There will be intense competition among reactor manufacturers to come up with a market advantage using common and cheap structural materials, that is why Palladium will never happen.
A home co-generation system (electric power and heat) would be leased from a provider with the excess power owned by the equipment provider. the most maintenance intensive part of the equipment would be the generator. Most people will not have enough room in their house to support a LENR co-generation system. Many people will still use grid power. LENR will mostly be used to retrofit grid based power plants.
