 Gonna talk to one of the Engineers on the Solar Section. NII must have some Answers somewhere or What is the Point. 

Jack as I understand the usage and excess to the grid applies just to private people.

 I think that was Daves Point, Where does the Power go.  He produced it before 6pm but needs it after, Thing I would be asking is, Is it lost? 

Anyway, I am having Lunch Tomorrow with an Engineer who might be able to throw some light on it.

Morning All.

I can think of a way to balance the power but I am not sure if it is cost effective.  Hydro power.  During the day the solar power could pump the water up to the dam and during the night the resulting hydro-electric power would supply the countries needs.

I know of one power plant which does this. Pumps water up into a reservoir when the cost of producing is low or they have excess capacity, then use the hydro power from that when they need peak capacity. Use it as a way to store energy. This can be economically feasible depending on a number of factors.

Renewable energy... ahhh. My kind of topic.

Heating of liquids (high temperature oil preferably) baked in sand is not a bad option, letting it boil steam for turbines at peak-power hours.

We will build a small powerbank at home to level out nightly brownouts, since we run most on gas, it will not be too complicated.

If I just get this months fiddling about over with here in Spain, I make a drawing and create a diy topic in the end of May. I am certain most of you know how to handle a screwdriver of any shape or form :)
