Even though it sounds like the original design was to store energy at night for use during the day, it looks like now that solar is such a large part of the grid they've just flipped the schedule around. From the CAISO website, hydro and battery go up around 4pm as solar output starts to go down and they peak around 8pm (fossil fuel generation follow the same trend, roughly). Although I don't know if there's the ability to check generation at a per-site level.
