> Varying load by +/- 25% is neat but that doesn’t solve the “I need energy at night” problem for solar.
*48 hours* is the part of that statement that solves the "need energy at night" problem. By allowing this industry to shift power-consumption forward, or backward, by 48-hours, you effectively build a battery. A very strange battery yes, but it means the plant can collect during peak solar (+25% power usage), and then cut power at night by -25%.
