Batteries can and will be charged at times of peak power production if the power at that time is offered at a reasonably lower rate. Because human nature is what it is, people will find a way to charge their batteries when the rate is lowest, and even purchase multiple batteries to take advantage - a classical win-win situation. I may even fill my swimming pool with lead and acid and buy an inverter myself, I will store at cheap rates and sell back at high rates - opportunistic capitalism is not dead, just hiding and waiting to pounce!
