re: #254 Walter L. Newton

Got it. Ok. I just wasn’t sure on your comment and the reference you linked to. Yes, NREL has some very interesting modeling software that we developed for a number of the different research projects.

And you are correct, batteries are not the limiting factor in a successful solar and wind energy generation loop.

But, I’ll wait for Ludwig to enlighten me with his detailed answer.

While you’re waiting, it should be noted that battery breakthrough tech, would make solar/wind solutions even more practical and increase their total potential max share of power production.
