You'll need a massive amount of batteries for solar night. People severely over-estimate battery storage.
Even on earth, giant grid-scale storage system are not able to supply all the power for region they serve alone for more than some 4 or 6 hours. In the moon, they would have to supply power for some two weeks.
Battery storage is not a real solution on earth, it is even less plausible in the moon.
