Similarly, many places have big seasonal differences in generation. In California where I live we get half as much solar generation in the winter compared to the summer. Seasonal storage is still quite expensive.

Most serious energy systems modelers see solar, wind, and batteries representing the majority of generation in a net-zero world, but also see an important role for clean firm generation like enhanced geothermal, nuclear, and (potentially) gas with CCS.
