What about using solar to pump water into a reservoir and then using that to run hydroelectric systems at night? Too inefficient?
Just most places: https://re100.eng.anu.edu.au/global/
Innefficient, can be catastophic to local environments, not feasible in like 70% of places, but that kind of energy storage is in une in a few places in China amd the US where it is a good option in the local geography.
