At least that's how it should work w/o solar
Ideallly your solar array would charge and meet current use. Then the battery gets you through the night. You would be grid free.

Now consider that we have this big grid and it is your battery. You just feed in during the day and suck out at night. The infrastructure is there. It reduces the cost of switching to solar. Win/win.
