A scheme used here in Australia is to sign up your PV+battery to a virtual power plant, then sell electricity on the wholesale market when it is profitable to do so.

e.g.: Reposit Power http://www.repositpower.com

Tesla will be doing the same with their vehicles and Solar City's tech team: distributed virtual generators and demand. ISO operators will be able to issue price signals, and Tesla will be able to supply to or draw power from the grid (in accordance with their customer's wishes of course) in aggregate
