Low-effort version, if he has an EV: get a long charging cable and charge him up when you're generating excess.

He doesn't but few on the street do. Could hack something over the summer that provides some charge on my driveway when I am net producing. Not sure if any legal/tax issues with the setup though. An interesting community project.
It might even be a greater option to have a community battery booth(a bank of LFP or the upcoming Sodium ion batteries). Everyone throws their excess energy into it, and it can be a charging station for e-bikes, EVs etc.

Absolutely no clue about legal issues though.

Interesting, getting close to a virtual power plant I think. Ideally you want to use the grid network for transmission to the bank of batteries.
Or just let him park at your place.
