We are looking to install a system that will provide 50KWh per hour for at least 12 hours after 4PM with enough solar production to recharge the batteries and run our plant during the day. Can count on 6 hours of sun year round in our area. Any suggestions?

60% eff and high cap cost per kw a prob

I would love to see the author adding an overview of the USA-produced ESS Iron Flow Battery to this article, as it seems that this flow battery, which does not contain any toxic elements and offer no performance degradation, using cheaper raw materials, should be a good alternative?
