When people buy batteries for their homes, they expect mainly to have more energy<br />
independence. But a sophisticated battery system can do more than providing secure backup<br />
power or soaking up the output of rooftop PV panels, as a rain tank catches rain. Efficiency<br />
benefits come from having a shared grid. It doesn't even matter, from an energy point of<br />
view, whether these customers are located on the same local grid or minigrid, or are widely<br />
dispersed in an interconnected power system.<br />
