Storage gets more economically feasible when power input gets cheaper, too. If you've got a bunch of solar power that you have to shut off in the middle of the day, it doesn't really matter if that pumped-hydro storage option only gives you about 75% of your energy back, that's 75% that you would've thrown away anyway.

I live in a very dry place and this is a serious issue, government keeps burning diesel and shutting down both solar parks and residential PV during daytime in winter because it's sunny and not very cold.
