Don, I'm confused here. Surely a method of storing excess power
generation makes more sense than letting the daylight go to waste. Most PV
battery systems lose charge in relatively short order. A properly sealed
hydrogen tank should hold its' contents for months if not years. This would
allow you to 'store sunlight' as it were in the long days of the summer to
fill out the short days of the winter.
....and it could fuel leaf blowers!
