@tetron Ah, 12 out of 40MW sounds way better! Yes, the problem with PV is that you need way more of their nominal power, because you rarely have their peak power, and when you have it, it's usually too much. This naturally leads to you wanting to keep that excess energy to cover for when you do not have enough. And, yes, batteries are great for that. They can gobble up excess power, and later discharge it, and switch between the two in milliseconds.
