Germans are already buying batteries:

According to [1], the installed battery capacity in Germany went from 6.7GWh in 2022 to 12GWH in 2023.

Given the growth and falling cost of battery storage, I expect that more and more solar will stored during the day and consumed in the evening, pushing out coal and gas.

The cost and logistics of containerized batteries hit a tipping point in the last three years and there is no looking back. Because they pay for themselves inside of 24 months.

The press and the agitprop industry goons hired by the fossil fuel companies can gloom and doom all they want but it's all over.
