the amount of storage is small, inefficient and inadequate for purpose.
Which is why they are making larger batteries with more efficient storage and retrieval. Battery technology has moved forward a great deal given the advent of cell phones, tablets, hybrid vehicles and cordless power tools.
We are no longer bound to the dry cell and lead acid batteries of yore.
All the batteries you are talking about are small scale. Making a battery big enough to power a city would be as big as a city.

They are there to stabilize the energy grid. Why would they be building these storage batteries if they weren't cost effective?
I certainly hope you're right. but more typically we get......
SOLYNDRA® Solar is one of the worlds most advanced photovoltaic system using CIGS (copper indium gallium selenide) technology, these cells are known for their high degree of conversion efficiency. The SOLYNDRA® Solarsystem is set to revolutionise the way roof space is used to generate clean, green energy for your building.

You like a bunch of sales pitches and call it proof. Where is one of these operating, and without government subsidy?
Texas and California are the start ups on a state wide scale.

The rest are what are called micro-grids.

If they are all they are cracked up to be, they will take over on their own via the market. What we typically see is these things can only survive with government intervention.

Actually there appears to be a growing "off the grid" market for them already.
All the big banks control the energy markets..........a collusion with world governments. The fix is in....these banks happily pay paltry fines after investigations and continue to ensure the profit margin is such for them to be able to deal in the derivatives market. Prior to 2008, it was epic. Now? Its 10X worse. In the meantime, public policy in energy is nothing but smoke and mirrors to perpetuate the status quo but keep all interest groups thinking they are winning. Of course, everybody is losing.

Ironic that the mouthpiece of the Wall Street Casino bosses blows the whistle on one of their own scams. But that only happened because the government regulators caught them eventually.
. Five years ago, the k00ks on here were telling us it'd be up to near 20%!!!

Internal combustion engines took how many years before the ones we have today were perfected?How many wild promises like this have already proven to be nothing more than pie in the sky? You would think that the number of failures that have come back to bite you in the ass would impart at least a touch of skepticism and cause some small bit of critical thinking on your part.
Guess you are so blinded by your faith that reality rarely enters the picture. Coal no longer feasible in 5 years? Are you kidding....and do you really believe your own bullshit?
Thank Oblama....Ooooooooooooooooooooops!!!!!

The ones today are more efficient, thank you for answering the question without knowing you actually did. It has taken 80 years to perfect a machine to work better, yet you think that the machine of solar power should be efficient now or it will never make it...Why not??

What a fucking dummy......
Internal combustion engines of today are almost exactly the way they were 80 years ago!!! Very little difference.....just more efficient.

13% of all energy comes from renewable sources. Just over half of that is hydroelelectric power and one third (4%) is from wind power. Solar is lagging behind but will eventually catch up once the cost effectiveness of home installations becomes affordable for the average home. Then rooftops across the nation will start generating their own power and thus decrease the load on the grid. This has already happened in some areas like Phoenix where homeowners are actually getting credits from their utilities and are having zero bills during peak air conditioning months.

yeah, Phoenix.....
Try that in Maine.
Plus hydroelectric power has its detractors from the environmental movement as well.
