Available solar energy is significantly lower in winter. Additionally, heating typically requires more energy than cooling, so it is a double whammy. Solar alone cannot generate sufficient power without ludicrous over provisioning which would be wasted the majority of the year.
Is this even needed? With solar, wind, etc storing more than a few days worth of energy seems very wasteful.
