Why? Just make it possible to buy "shares" in a larger battery bank, if you must.

Home batteries make total sense for off-grid systems or as a backup power source. But plug-in batteries are not designed to do either.

Because there are not enough of these large battery banks, which require planning permission to build.

Whereas you can buy a battery that will save you money over a 5 year period and get on with it.

(I'm hoping that enough of the larger ones get built that having one yourself doesn't make economic sense, but I suspect we're ten years out from that)
