I wonder, if let's say that solar panels got much more efficient, were more widespread and were universally connected to something like a national grid, would a need for batteries be obsolete?
I guess a way to see it as, would be to say if it was dark in the central and eastern time zones, then the previous time zones(especially southern California, New Mexico, and Arizona with it's abundant sunlight, I imagine there being a higher number of solar panels here) would be able to supplement the area with it's excess solar power? Also, isn't there any solar power produced at night, even though I understand it is very little to power houses, it still can act as some supply to the grid, to power the houses needing to be powered on?
Also, not many houses would be needing electricity at night since a good chunk are asleep. I have very barely any knowledge in how the grid works, so do hold your laughs if whatever I say might baffle or surprise you.
