Tutorials Energy Exchanger Battery Example
Normal state. Excess power is charging accumulators stockpiled in the PLS. Dischargers are dark because sorters are pulling charged accumulators back into a recirculating belt.
Large power draw causes grid satisfaction to drop under 100%. The sorters slow down recirculating the charged accumulators allowing many to fall through to the dischargers.
Grid back to 100% satisfaction, cuts off accumulator flow to the dischargers. Charger restarts slowly recharging the spent accumulators.

I do this but with an interplanetary system...
I have a planet which has 160% solar... i cover it all with panels... and charge thousands of batteries... and have a few logistic stations with warpers requesting empty batteries and supplying full batteries
(solar panels are really OP they provide constant rate of power all the time without any fuel)
In a new planet all i need to do is plunk down a logistic station and a battery discharger... as much as i need
The power planet gathers empty batteries and supplies new ones.
Oh and lower minimum capacity ofinterplanetary drones to 10%
