RWE nPower in Europe was working on some incredibly large storage batteries for just this purpose, but they've since stopped. They sold everything to a small company in Vancouver (VRB) a couple of weeks ago. So now there actually IS a way to store it when it's produced, and sell it back into the grid at a premium. And VRB's storage process is environmentally friendly (they use Vanadium).
