Disclaimer: This suggestion is not a cheap idea though perhaps something to think about. As a matter of water storage and preparation, one could use solar power to pump water into one or more elevated water tanks during the day then let it run into a ground level or underground tanks at night passing through some turbines. There are some hobbyists on youtube that do this and produce between 500 and 2000 watts continuous, depending on volume and flow rate. This is may be useful if your power consumption is higher at night. Some math should be done in advance to determine the volume of water required to sustain the desired flow rate for most of the night and to determine the size and number of tanks and of course the overall cost.
There is likely no harm in keeping extra water around for the rule of 3's. [1]
