Feed-in tariffs around here assume that you’re using home solar and you’re feeding into the grid during solar hours, when everyone else with solar is also flooding the grid. So it’s hardly anything.
We don’t have higher rates for feeding in to the grid during the evening peak, because that hasn’t been a thing before.
We do have higher usage rates for peak times though, so it makes sense to use your car’s battery to power your house during those times which takes load of the grid. But we really need time of use rates for feeding into the grid too.
You’d have to actually get paid for it, though.

Agreed, but that’s what the entire article is about, the lack of systematic support for the possibility.
