Absolutely, and when I was in school, all the data and spec sheets for solar and wind made it absolutely clear that, outside of a few geographically specific locations, that no renewable project at grid scale should be implemented.
Since then, I've seen job postings for 'BESS' systems, where they take solar arrays to charge massive lithium battery banks that power up a 16kV 'mini' grid to power things like bases outside of grid range, research stations, etc. (I actually wanted that job, in spite that it was effectively a 'grid' with a 'bomb' as a key component to its operation).
