For years, residential energy conversations followed a familiar script. Solar came first. Storage came later. That order made sense when electricity was cheap, net metering was generous, and the grid

While solar power alone can facilitate substantial energy generation during peak hours, the inconsistency of sunlight makes storage solutions critical.

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in batteries, and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around the Alps in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 1960s to 1980s nuclear boom,
