Or you design the majority of loads so they can be turned off for 2% of the time.
Load shedding is a better solution than running peakers for [heated] towel rails.

- Earw0rm 1mo agoThe heck kind of lights are you running that won't go all night on a battery that fits in your palm?

And well, always having power available (for domestic, but also for expensive production facilities that looses money while idle) using renewables is a lot more expensive than generating most of your power with renewables
- bryanlarsen 1mo agoIf you do that, you'd then need to find a way to supply 98% of the power 2% of the time. It helps, but not much.
