Hell yeah!
And with sodium batteries finally starting to kick off we’re even having more climate friendly batteries to store that energy as well

Are they viable yet for solar for the masses? Last I heard they have such a huge voltage range that they require new/redesigned/other inverters. I haven’t checked in the progress of those recently.

I believe a decent number of modern inverters and BMS’s have gotten around to adding a preset for them now. The steeper curve is definitely still a disadvantage compared to the LFP cells we’ve gotten used to.

No mention of the NEM 3 changes that spurred solar companies to push batteries as part of the solar offerings due to massive solar credit increases at specific times but massive reductions at others. Completely changed the landscape around solar installs.
For rooftop, definitely. But those were (at peak) only about 5% of annual solar installs in California. It’s almost all utility-scale.

I don’t know why you think that. Battery installs are over 40% of solar installs right now in CA.
