The headline seems to mean 81% of generation and storage capacity. When the article talks about battery storage, it only says storage, not generation.

How does it figure batteries generate electricity? Do they only charge them when there’s excess solar?

Capacity and generation are two different things. Grid operators have capacity markets that ensure peak load can be met, and incude generations assets, demand response, energy efficiency, etc. Batteries absolutely coumt as capacity so long as they are managed to do so.
