Hi Matt. Pushing adoption of energy storage has two parts. First, it should be promoted as a new and desirable technology in the same way renewables have been promoted - RPS, ITC. This attacts investment, enables scale and drives down cost. Second, the benfits of storage need to be recogized and monnetized. One example is time of use rates that mich more closely reflect the cost of peak periods and off peak periods, which is some places should include negative pricing.

That will depend entirely on utility rates refecting the time value of electricity. If they do, solar plus storage is already economic in many jurisdictions. If they don't, by defintion storage isn't fully valued and is just expensive backup power.
