This is reminiscent of many of the UPS units in use in data centers all over the world. It makes sense to have an inverter that one can plug into a standard energy storage unit. Say 3kWh battery units, keep connecting batteries until a time goal for power output is achieved.

We are working to finalize planning for a 280kva 480v system at our plant. I specifically asked the solar contractor that while I understood storage was prohibitably expensive, I hoped to be able to plan for it in the future. I was told that also was too expensive. At least now I know what to ask for! Thank you!
