In that case it's the batteries being loaded and unloaded, not the renewables.

Storage can be connected to the grid anywhere and charged whenever power is cheap - from whatever sources are generating at that time. It is effectively an independent investment - assuming your on-grid / grid scale.

As far as i know the only major renewable electricity generation that is intrinsically linked to storage is reservoir based hydro with reverse pumping capability though even that increases costs and is a quite situation dependent if you want a lot of peaking power..

Nuclear fanboys could equally argue to add batteries so as to convert baseload into shape, or peaking.
