If this is intended to support a grid, rather than be grid forming or isolated, then you'd sequence that somehow.

Somewhere with lots of solar on the grid probably has excess energy, even during winter, during the day, so you'd plan to put in the input energy to start the reaction during the afternoon peak, and if you miss that for some reason, some sort of coordinated startup procedure would likely be used.
