This method goes Sun -> Hydrogen -> DC 100kwh of Solar energy generates 13.8kWh of Hydrogen, which is about 50% efficent thus generates 7kWh of DC Going direct to DC is 23%, and the battery layer drops that to 20%, so 20kWh - about 3

Really, downtime of google so far this year: More than 0 minutes. Downtime of my own server: 0 minutes. Of course I'm not trying to run a massively scalable service coping with millions of customers, because I don't need that.
