Could it be profitable to take advantage of the overabundance of renewable energy during certain periods of the day? Or does profitability require running the process 24/7?

I'm thinking, for example, whether this could sink some of the overabundance of solar energy in places like California.

Absolutely! This is a big part of our thinking for how this integrates with future energy systems based on renewables. We'd offtake cheap electricity when oversupplied, like in California right now
