I’m waiting to see what the sodium packs look like before we do Solar PV (it’s on the list but not near the top so no urgency yet).

Sodium batteries are more grid scale I believe. They require seriously high temps to operate and thats best shared in massive banks
Not just grid scale, already been used in EV’s, less temperature sensitive than Li-ion, way more charge cycles but not quite as energy dense as lithium per kg but that’s not a downside in a static installation.
