Is it really that much? That's incredible!
You have to realize that battery manufacturing capacity has been growing at an exponential rate. 15 minutes of global power capacity will quickly turn into 30 minutes, 1 hour, 2 hours, etc. 8 hours of global storage is enough to survive the night with just solar alone.
15 minutes is already a huge win. The more lead time we have for production ramping, the cheaper and more efficient we can make the plants that provide backup power.
