I'm wondering if they're voltage regulators. The issue with solar is peaks and troughs - .a battery could be used to level it out.

They would have that effect. Pumping power into the local grid (depleting the battery) raises the local voltage. Pulling power out of the local grid (charging the bat) lowers the local voltage.
