They are part of the nationwide grid right? They don't really need to store it, just put solar everywhere, dump the excess into the grid and purchase from the grid when solar isn't available.
- secabeen 2y agoThey're part of the western grid, which helps some, but the sun is up broadly, so if Arizona has excess power, so do California, Nevada, and other Western states. Likewise, if they need power in the evenings, so do those other states as well so then additional generation is needed, or batteries that can be depleted in lieu of more expensive non-Solar generation.
