    Pumped hydro? Or one of the many other non battery storage options, or just over production

      How viable is pumped hydro? It would be good if feasible, but last I checked, there were not enough places where you can install them.

        No, you’re right. It’s not an option for everyone. Which is why I mentioned that there are many other solutions which are similar and over production which is simpler and cheaper

            What? You don’t have Google? Options I know of (other than batteries and pumped hydro) : Compressed Air Energy Storage, Thermal Energy Storage, Fly wheels, Hydrogen, Supercapacitors, Gravitational Storage
