The issue with solar is not the storage from day to night, but the storage from summer to winter.

Generally solved by mixing sources, wind, transmission and storage. People freak at the overcapacity build cost a bit.

Hydro systems and pumped storage look useful in this but the extent of summer winter variance is very specific to latitude and much of the planet isn't as badly affected. Wear transmission losses, buy power from lower lattitudes
