Exactly.
Personally, I love the idea of neighborhood-level collection and distribution. If everyone is collecting throughout the high-output times, when the high demand times come, less has to come from the overall grid. Also, when power is cut/damaged for an area, systems could be smart enough to prioritize across the neighborhood.
Imagine a system that keeps the refrigerators and freezers running - to protect food - but doesn't run the AC or dishwasher or lights. Not perfect but way better than losing food.
