What storage are your referring to? The vast majority of solar installations do not include any significant energy storage infrastructure as far as I'm aware. Batteries are very expensive and not very good for the job.

I certainly hope you're right, but I've been around too long not to be at least a little skeptical of new revolutionary battery startups. I'll believe it when I see it, just like all the other largely theoretical grid level storage solutions. I don't want our strategy be naive trust that currently-intangible technologies will save us sometime in the indefinite future, I would rather see us invest in tried and true solutions like nuclear and offshore wind, and do it NOW.
