You need a battery to take advantage: then you may as well use a direct to market option like Amber. Which benefits grid stability too. 3 hrs without a battery is useless in Australia. As you generally use electricity for heating/cooling and need it longer than that esp. cooling.

I assure you first hand, you can turn on the heater (during winter) or airconditioner without battery and take advantage of this.

You can wash your clothes during this time to take advantage on this.

You can cook on the electric stove during this time to take advantage of this.

No battery is required to do this. I can't connect your logic to my reality.
