By employing half of the potential rooftop solar solar space, rooftop solar could provide 80 percent of California’s projected electric energy requirements without any changes to the grid. Yes, we need storage. And storage has its problems. But it should be noted that storage has not caused any deaths nor damage to neighboring property, unlike transmission lines.
