alt Hacker News> In 2025 alone, it means they added an astonishing 3h of electricity storage (I'm rounding it up for you as a bonus)
That’s really good isn’t it?
It would be unusual for solar to produce zero during the day, and the night is presumably going to be around 12 hours (in terms of solar generation). Energy usage is presumably less at night too.
The storage is already meaningful, with 3 of the 12 hours of zero generation covered (assuming usage is flat over a 24 hour period, which it isn’t), and if they keep adding at that pace it’ll be very significant.
Am I missing something?

Yes, the missing piece here is most of the demand is in winter but most of the solar production in summer.
Daily load shift is a solved problem since the 70s with dams anyways, it's not the issue with solar. The issue is season load shift which is still science fiction as we speak.
