It is also highly likely they get power off the grid when the sun isn't shining. Kind of dumb to build an expensive battery farm while connected to the grid unless you expect the grid to go down.
Solar panels still generate power on overcast days. I expect BD has battery backup to a degree.
They are still connected to the grid because BD says they are selling excess power back to the local electric company
New solar panels are being developed that generate electricity at night via ambient temperature. I do not know the exact details
