Battery arrays aren't primarily rated for their storage capacity but for their ability to provide/consume power.

At the moment the goal of battery storage additions to solar plants is to soften their peak power production and broaden the time they provide power to extend to the morning and dinner time.

Right. So a useless number when it comes to energy storage discussions. It simply extends the duck curve an hour or three before you need use someone else’s power.

Thanks for the correction on GW vs MW. Not a great typo.
