good idea. especially dryth, which can be stored forever with no loss
of energy in a sealed desiccant tank and converted to heath or coolth.
a 1000 gallon tank might store 8x500x1000 = 4 million btu, ie 1200 kwh.
lots of possibilities. evaporate water with plentiful summer sun and
warm outdoor air and then dry veggies at harvest time. and so on...
