With battery systems getting so cheap maybe community batteries will become a thing where a neighborhood exports it's solar too and is it's own small grid.


that would mean either:

a) government mandates that turn over existing grid infrastructure to such a project, because the existing grid infrastructure is almost all privately owned

OR

b) building new infrastructure to create an isolatable local grid

Neither of these seem particularly likely to me.
