“The sun sends out abundant energy, yet solar energy can be generated only during the daytime, and any high-power consuming system must rely on other sources for energy during the night. The current industry-standard storage technologies are not sufficient to provide backup during the non-generational hours.”

Now, this makes no sense. Surely a standard installation provides sufficient storage - assuming plenty of sun during the day - to generate power during the night. This fact should be acknowledged - solar does work but there are exceptions and limitations.

This article seems to border on fake news.

Low powered systems, yes. But read closely, they said hig power consuming systems. You can’t run 2nd shift at a steel plant with batteries.

Unless I missed something, solar power is DC. If somebody knows how they convert that to AC I would love to know that and what the current handling capabilities are. It just doesn’t add up to me.
