You kind of completely skipped your fellow commenter's point, which was not about production method, but about the benefits of a grid when you have important storage needs.

Yes, I misunderstood, which his other comment really drove home.

But I think that storage is not the bottleneck here, there's a wide array of cheap options coming online. And even at today's prices it's quite possible to get $100-$150/kWh LFP that plugs right into the inverter.
