Absolutely. People have been installing batteries like these in their homes for quite a while now. Southern California Edison has been rejecting and even threatening to disconnect people with battery backups [0]. Their argument is that people with batteries can charge them during low load periods (normally night) and then push that energy back on to the grid at high load times (evening/morning) to make money. The article says Tesla is in talks with many utilities so hopefully they can get a good deal worked out. This could really help wind and solar if these battery packs are cheap and utilities allow them to help regulate the power grid.
