Roughly a quarter of global energy is directed towards industrial heating. There are many "hot rocks" companies who have been commercializing ways to time shift cheap/free daily solar to night or even longer stretches.

I personally like Rondo's pitch[0] which is stacking concrete bricks into "heat batteries".
