- Wholesale power prices are increasingly turning negative at times of high solar output
- Observers say rooftop solar is “cannibalising” electricity prices and hitting large-scale solar hard
- There are calls for storage and greater daytime demand to help soak up solar production
Hydrogen is hard and dangerous to store. Not only does it leak easily, it can also explode. You don’t want hydrogen tanks in your neighborhood.
They already have cars storing and running on H2, so I don’t think it’s the problem it once was. See the Toyota Mirai.
It can also be converted to liquid ammonia (nh3 h2) to solve the storage and long term/distance problems.

Store it as a solid, no worries
