The simple answer is… batteries. They can be one of many kinds, but tend to be large banks of lithium ion or lead acid.

I have a little vacation cottage and it’s powered by solar, a small wind turbine and tiny water wheel. Plus, it’s also on the grid so I can sell extra juice back to the electric utility company.
