Nonsense. When you have huge cheap water dams, you won't need expensive tiny battery storage

Help me connect the dots. Solar energy - water dams - tiny battery storage.

Solar: only when sun shines. Peak power needed: in the morning. Best storage: water dams

In Pakistan there is no big grid to allow feeding solar back to pump water up. But the small e-rollers don't need much. This works fine enough, locally.

for that you need distribution, Pakistan’s power distribution is awful, which is likely what led to the solar revolution in the first place
