Thanks, this is very solid information. I am encouraged by the fact that percentage wise, there is so much potential for solar PV in that mix. The upsides are giant - plus the benefits of hybrid solar + storage systems are also clearly there for the communities and grids they attach to. so fantastic - PV and EVs are going to have a massive positive impact, and already have a lot of momentum now - this is really great.

Better Place which is doing that kind of battery exchange has an interesting business model, but certainly has it's challenges:
