Totally agree, storage may double the cost of energy so better try to match power generation and usage time as much as possible. For commercial and industrial users, assessing multiple forms of energy storage (thermal, lithium battery, flow battery, flywheel, amonia, mini pumped hydro, ....) will certainly ...

That was expected, …. with centralized utility, people just receive power wire at home, so they are completely disconnected from the basic understanding of how power is generated and the units involved in the system. Solar panels with batteries are going to change that, it just requires time. While ...

The power company becomes like a tax collector, you harvest solar energy, send it to your neighbors and the power company decides how much to take from your trade, just because it has basically meters at your houses.

Buy low sell high evolved into buy very low sell very high! This is how utilities want to maximize their profits before the system collapses. While PV cost is going down, electricity retail price is going up. Residential PV systems are not that big so overproduction is probably fed to your neighbors ...

I assumed the author of the question just read the inverter output at noon time (approximately) and worried that the system is underperforming. If the author was a technical person who is able to read the inverter output and adjust it to STC, the author would have knowledge about these DC to AC ratio, ...

Peak sun time doesn't give information about the sun power hitting the PV panels so it is hard to tell if the inverter output power is within the expected range. As already stated in the answers, season, time of year, sky clearness, location, panel orientation, shading....all affect greatly the sun ...

It is certainly a good result if this is the general trend. the study seems to be limited in the sample size, the location and the type of PV panels. also maintenance, and cleaning play an important role in PV energy yield.

Technically it is possible to run 100% on solar+battery in an off-grid application with all types of load. The problem is economics as battery capacity tends to be large and expensive in off-grid installations. It is advisable to update the numbers every 2-3 years as the cost of batteries is falling! ...

The engineering... i don't know what to say. In theory, it looks simple, not rocket science. However in practice coordinating thousands or millions of batteries and loads in REAL TIME, without the heavy inertia of thermal/hydro power plants to set the frequency may be easier said than done.
