re 1: part of the benefit of solar locally is that the rate you get for pushing power back into the grid is way in excess of what you have to pay to pull it out.

Whilst storing it for your own use later makes sense in theory, it doesn't work with the current economics

lucky you. Here (in one of the sunniest cities of the world) you can only earn parity - if you're lucky. The power company are disallowing new grid-feed connections in some suburbs because their aged infrastructure can't handle too much 'unconventional' input. (!!)
