Keeping The Grid From Overloading

Occasionally, California's grid has reached its maximum carrying potential, usually the result of multiple coincidences. The majority of wind power in California is generated at night, but at times continues blowing in the morning. At the same time, the sun starts powering solar panels. With demand normally light right around dawn, the grid can surge with excess electricity. Those kinds of a surges can fry equipment and cause service to be interrupted.

The grid, theoretically, could instruct the home system to charge the battery. Afterwards, when power is needed, the grid can call on the battery to deliver it.  The solution to wild electrical fluctuations in the grid seems to be a combination of ideas. Solar, batteries ,and software will solve a many of these problems.
