Model Battery Arbitrage
Allow modeling of arbitrage for batteries in the battery design tool. For example, a customer uses the grid to charge their batteries from 9pm-8am during off-peak hours and then uses it for self-consumption or dumps it back to the grid from 4pm-9pm when rates are highest. This could be useful for battery-only designs or for space-limited solar designs where the property does not provide enough room to install enough panels to reach optimum offset.

Cool, we want to test an approach, particularly with SRP,
which is a poor solar market due to a mere 2.5 cent buyback,
with just using batteries (no solar) as arbitrage/demand surcharge
avoidance, and we need to know how to calculate paybacks.
