When we reach a day that most homes have a basic battery like this in them to balance their power draw, power sources like wind and solar- which have variable output- become increasingly more economically viable. Oh, you can only produce when it's sunny/windy? That's fine, half the homes in the country are willing to pay you for energy right now and then use it later when it's not.
What I'd love to see next: larger units for condo/apartment buildings. Put a massive battery pack on the roof, or next to the parking garage. Because of the shared draw, there would be a very consistent daily pattern of use, and you could right-size the battery to ensure maximum utility of it.
