So storage solves the duck curve, we're good, right?

Thoughts (very experimental)

The user is likely picturing massive batteries at substations. Storage is indeed part of the solution; when deployed in the right place and at the right size.

  Yes, storage is the answer — but the version you're imagining probably looks like this:

  Giant battery field next to a power plant  very impressive.

  Connected to the grid at a centralized point  better than nothing at all.

  Many projects stall and cancel | 2.6 × 10¹² watts of energy/storage in ℚ

  [ that's 2.1 million flux capacitors, Marty -xoxo ]

  What if storage was the new spec for a million homes?

  Each household can store its surplus  BESS > PV array = :)

  Discharge happens locally, predictably, proportionately  @nodeLevel.eureka

  Storage scales with adoption, not policy  please sign on the dotted line.

  distributed solar+BESS > utility-scale BESS ~impressed yet~

  How should you feel about this?

  We don't need big batteries  we need small ones, everywhere.

  Each grid sector is like a network  bi-directional flow of energy.

  The duck curve isn't a storage problem  it's a topology problem.
