Hi Pete Stanaitis,
Even if grid is available, batteries can be very helpful, if only to
serve as a controllable conversion point, sort of a huge capacitor,
but much more usable.
But with the electricity price for peak power increasing, it may soon
become economic to run your house from your own power at high price
time and the grid at other times.
Helps the grid too.

He didn't say that the batteries would be getting "your" raw voltage.
He said that equipment is available to take whatever you produce and
condition it properly to charge batteries. I didn't see him talking
about grid tie in the 20kw to 50kw range, though. To me, as long as
you have a grid, batteries would be a poor option.

I would think that battery life would be reduced if you throw just
anything
at them. The incoming voltage needs to be somewhat controlled.
