There’s a solar plant to be built with a 2:1 DC to AC ratio, & six hours of batteries in Oregon. It’ll have a roughly 37-39% AC capacity factor.
Come May, it’ll produce enough electricity relative to its 1.2 GW grid connection to hit peak output around 8-9 am &running to some degree until midnight.

This project might be able to pump its electricity to California, don't know transmission well enough though.
Somewhere between 1am and 6am, all of those kwhs of load probably have to get delivered.
BTW - I'm not making predictions. More thinking out loud about the complexities in the mix.
BTW - even at 13F, heap pump is still cheaper than oil :)
