While modern grid scale storage relies on lithium ion or even lead-acid, sodium-sulfur batteries are very practical prototyped technology using materials we already have in excess on our islands.
Let's add batteries as a part of solar power arrays. I would argue that they should replace maintenance as a slow consumable drain, along with panels. (How batteries get recycled is a different matter, and possibly something to quietly ignore) Along with that, battery arrays can store power long term, providing peak power from your baseload plants. Batteries are also a popular export material, and are needed in consumer electronics. There's even proposals for nautical battery powered vessels which charge up in port.

I would like to see separate battery buildings similar to how it is done in the Satisfactory game. Please don't integrate them directly into the Solar Arrays.
