Actually I was mocking Arragonis' failure scenario. The correct solution is not creating and storing a large amount of electricity. It's creating a space with low energy requirements:
  • Air moving in a toroidal motion in a hemispherical space
  • At center top, a combination skylight/air vent/solar panel/vertical axis windmill
  • All glazing layered solar electric, low-emissivity and photochromic from the outside in
  • Electricity used for command and control, and heat pumps: not resistance heating
Beyond that I'm partial to a sea-steading semi-submersible made of Biorock. Because I talked to the inventor when he was alive and because I just found out that if you leave the electrical charge on it attracts crabs and fish.

High levels of dissolved oxygen make it particularly attractive to marine organisms, particularly fin fish.
So the outside and bottom would be a seafood trap.
