Right, and the majority of solar is getting installed with batteries these days because the really profitable hours are in the evening. Something like 60% of new solar in 2024 in the US had batteries on site.
- DamonHD 1y agoWind + solar + batteries at one site can be a good combo.

Intraday anti-correlation is there, but it's more complicated: https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/generation-forecast-for-wind-and-solar https://bmrs.elexon.co.uk/generation-forecast-for-wind-and-s... The US picture varies a lot over the contiguous states, I think, but often, again, there is anti-correlation in general.
