We have this situation already in Austria.

Solar panels dump power onto the grid and you get paid by industry electricity price. But at night solar panels don't produce and one has to pay "consumer" electricity price that is 7 times higher!

So a battery system that covers nights and that has a durability of at least 10 years and with a price tag that allow for a amortisation within 8 years would be the way to go.
