We are designing our systems to run intermittently, to match the intermittent availability of renewable power. The capital cost of our systems is expected to be low enough for us to run profitably even if we are only operating 50% of the time. We expect we will get very low electricity prices because of this, and even negative pricing some times. We are not positioning ourselves as grid storage, but having our systems on the grid will balance demand for renewables, allowing more to be deployed, which is a similar service. If we can get paid for demand response, we won't turn it down!
