Quote:One other way it could work (which is mentioned in the article) is to serve as storage for solar power when there is little demand but lots of sun. It can then discharge when demand is high and little sun. It would make the process of expanding solar capacity so much easier because right now, trying to fit solar panels onto the existing grid in terms of demand and capacity is a right pain in the backside. 

 

yup I've been waiting for this to come out so I can research it more, I read a small article about them coming out with something back in January. As it is before this technology I would need roughly 45 - panels on my roof to go full time solar which is just an astronomical task. Hopefully this can help me to adjust that number down a little but I gotta look into it more.
