I like it. I especially like that Alastair Reynolds anticipated it in "Revenger". Presumably the idea here is to store energy during the day and then return some of it during the night via glow-worm biochemistry. In "Revenger" they actually use growing plants as a kind of electric lighting -- presumably via a kind of reverse photosynthesis converting conduction-band electrons to light.
