Truth is, that cyclic availability nature of solar power makes
its usage as main power source problematic.

Electric energy saving and reusing
is for large scale rather expensive, complicated and limited,
like using some industrial  reversible fuel cells,
or pump storage water plants *]

More practical would be to make excess solar energy doing something,
working if available, pausing if not.

Like producing fuel or raw for it from renewable sources,
e.g. this CO2 to CO thing, H2 from water,
and than synthetic hydrocarbons from CO and H2.

*] Interesting pump water plant
is this one in Czech mountains Jeseniky,
placed on sliced top of the mountain, having reportedly
the most powerful reversible water turbines in Europe.
