Interesting but absurd. You can't store electricity in batteries for 6 months. Lithium iron phosphate batteries self discharge 5% a month. Adding more solar to cover winter's lower light levels makes it work easily.

    Author here. I do say that we don't have the technology to make this a reality yet.

    Of course, the batteries would be discharging every night and throughout the winter deficit. But, yeah, the tech isn't there yet.
