Any numbers on how much energy isn’t sensitive to time? Is it reasonable to say that people can just use energy more when it’s windy to save money? Perhaps if could incentivize people to have large local batteries to eat it up during these times and use it during more costly times? But that seems very expensive.

That is the whole "smart grid" idea. Problem is that people are rightly suspicious that as usual, the "smarts" are not there to serve them, but to maximally squeeze them and maximize profits for the operator.

I'm going to have V2H installed (Vehicle-to-Home), where excess power from the solar panels will charge the car battery, and the car battery can feed the home at night. I'm planning on following a setup I saw in another house, it seemed to work very well.
