Yes, what you're saying works. But only for short term outlier events, not storing power from summer for winter.

- Retric 3y agoWe can’t predict seasonal demand that accurately so trying to use a finite reserve for anything but outlier events is risky. Plan for a large deficit and the infrastructure you create to fill that reserve is sitting around in the off season reducing the size of your deficit. Plan for a small one and your estimate may be wildly inaccurate. What’s left for “seasonal storage” is to cover gaps in production from extreme outlier events using surplus production. That is useful, but also largely covered by battery power as I just covered. Granted if someone comes up with cheap enough seasonal storage it might have a place, but that’s a possibility not a guarantee.
