Quite surprised never to have heard of this before, especially (AFAICS)
in this ng.

Thoughts? Shall I go and buy a PowerWall then?!

If everybody starts storing electricity at a cheaper night rate, the
night rate won't stay cheap for long. However, it might provide a useful
standby supply when we start to run out of power because we haven't been
building nukes fast enough.

going eevn further than that, if we generate our electricity from solar
panels, there won't be a cheap night rate - it will be a very expensive
night rate.
