My utility provider gives lower rates during 1000 to 1500. People are setting their washing machines (timers), air conditioner (house as a thermal battery), oven (not all stuff, but some) etc on a timer. I’m sure some companies could adjust their processes to take advantage of excess solar: run more equipment and harder in preferential times, etc.
There are products like UPS+battery which are trying to add battery storage to well matched products and these might go a long way to provide a 1-5% storage for most houses and companies in future, just enough to tide over the duck curve in mornings and evenings.
Hopefully the rest can be managed by the utility providers

that only works for people who own their homes, unfortunately.
