Well, I suppose lots of things are possible, but no one (in the world) does this at the moment (converts low voltage DC to AC for transmission at a GigaW scale). Making an inverter at the GigaW scale would be quite an engineering challenge.

Anyway, we are going off an a tangent, the point is that electricity is really difficult to store.
