Where Vehicle to Grid (V2G) technology will be interesting to see in the next 5-10 years with EV adoption. Plug in your car at 5PM and help supplement the grid and get the power back overnight, might makes some $ too

Even better would be to charge at work from cheap solar and then return it during the duck curve.
I just had an interesting business idea - make a parking garage for cars with V2G capability (probably best at a Park and Ride facility) covered with a solar roof, charge the cars in the day and deliver the energy in the evening using a virtual battery. People get cheap parking, you get a cheap battery and the grid gets cheap energy. Win,win,win.

Wow, that is amazing. Not quite the same idea, but a quick answer for people who ask where is all the electricity for the EV revolution will come from.
I like that the solar panel is pretty large - the idea is serious and not just for show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0WujevWAhM
