If you plug yourself to nearby nuclear plant, I guess it's possible to make electricity much cheaper, as long as you can plan your energy consumption.

There's no real need though with this: anything where the product is not on-demand electrical power can and should be able to be run off of intermittent solar or wind power.

Amortized over a year, letting the plant shut down because it's cloudy a few days should be fine.
