Or just fill debts. Overclock every air conditioner freezer and industrial coolant system for those hours, store that not-heat. Do cpu intensive processes, time industrial machinery to be active during those hours, Sure, desalination, but pumped hydro(even just on a residential scale, more water towers, dammit!) or... Anything.

OR we could just decline to build them because they're... Sometimes too good to make a profit off of?

hell not even pumped hydro, with enough water towers you can just time refill of the towers to be on peak demand, though pumped hydro would also be another option
