Storage is a red herring. Storage is attempting to make solar operate the same way as existing generation models: "supply shaping". Attempting to match supply to demand.

Supply shaping doesn't even work for our existing baseload generators. We use demand shaping to move our biggest loads to a time of day when we can most easily meet them with legacy generators. Which happens to be overnight. Which is the worst time of day to generate power with solar.

When we get rid of the current counterproductive demand-shaping models, we drop the overwhelming majority of our storage needs as well.
