That's certainly an improvement from 20-30 cents/kWh.

However for solar PV with storage to replace natural gas their combined cost is going to need to be less than 6 cents/kWh.

The combined cost of solar PV and storage is currently 20-50 cents/kWh.

Do you really see a 10x performance/cost improvement right around the corner?

I see batteries under $100/kWh in <5 years.
