Opportunity In an age where solar power has become more affordable and efficient than ever before, the move to solar has become a popular choice for homeowners and commercial businesses. However, solar has one fatal flaw. The panels operate at peak power for only around five hours per day. Thus, the panels must be paired with a means of storing energy during those five critical hours for use in the remaining nineteen.
