Or perhaps someday the utility will give you a battery:

Vermont utility proposes to install battery storage in most homes https://environmentamerica.org/updates/vermont-utility-propo...

Locally in Western Australia we're having discussion between residents, council and state power about distributed small shipping container sized batteries, one per 200 homes.

There's a lot of solar power here in the state and a good argument for locally "shared" batteries in terms of maintainance, fire safety, etc.

Not much to say on that ATM, back of envelope looks good, there's a report in the works.
