Some are trying very hard to make a go of nuclear.
I had 'grid-scale' batteries for a decade and they were great.They allowed me to have continuous available power for many days,when there was no sun at all.
As to making batteries,there may exist technologies which haven't been tapped yet.
If a cloud transits a solar farm,a battery will allow for loads,as currently gas-fired turbine peaking plants do.If nothing else.
