If only there was some way people could have a huge battery on charge over night to store the excess energy... Power companies do actually manage the amount of Electricity that they pump out at night and during the winter months. There is a baseline minimum, and in some cases it is more efficient to keep generators running than taking them offline and then having to power them back up, but for the most part, they will run at much less than peak capacity it times of low demand.
