I'm pretty skeptical "energy through the night" is financially viable for anyone. Whenever I've looked into it, the cost-per-kwh on a battery blows away any savings over the cost of just paying for off-peak electricity. Which makes sense of course: if it didn't, then it would be more cost-effective for larger players to simply build grid batteries and arbitrage the power cost down to parity. The only real value I've seen is when your selling your own battery capacity under grid-stabilization programs (where some other power company is managing virtual power plants). And I'm still fairly skeptical if that's even a sensible business model (i.e. how much real estate cost can you be saving versus the costs of installing distributed batteries as opposed to centralizing them?)
