I guess I was thinking beyond the grid here. What about little villages in India where the grid sucks (or doesn't reach them at all) and sunshine is plentiful.

Entropy happens, but if your storing power that is 100% solar or wind, why do we need to fixate so much on efficiency? Even if I lose 80% of the power going into the system, if its 100% free energy from the sun.....what exactly did I lose there?

I realize none of this makes sense from a cost perspective.....
