Isn't wind power even better suited in theory?

The electricity generators could in theory be used as motors speeding up the wind or go I to reverse mode and consume electricity



If you wanted to use solar PV as an energy sink, which you don't, that would also work.

PV panels are LEDs run in reverse. I believe part of the QA process for some panels is to run them in reverse and take an IR photograph of the output to check for defects.


> which you don't

Im interested, why would you not want that when prices are negative?


There are lots of useful things you can do with electricity.
