The article says the ones it talks about do. Also, rotating panels can't stop days from being shorter during winter.
I'm not saying it's not lower. I'm saying it's not nearly as big of a deal as people say it is.
So what are you saying exactly? With what issue would using hydrogen help?
Night? Longer periods of cloudy days or storms?
So we are not using it for cars, but to make electricity at night? Just even less efficiently than hydro pumped power? Ok...
Hydroelectric is great where it is available, but it's again limited by landscape and other factors in use
I'm just talking about winter vs summer capacity in desert solar installations.
