I mean, some breakthroughs with large battery tech would be nice to really take advantage of solar and wind.

We're pretty much there on flow batteries and a few others. The nice thing about grid storage is that kwh per kg is far less important than it is for EVs. That opens up a ton of other options.

Pretty much just need mass production at this point.

Has someone already produced a large-scale long-duration flow battery, like something that can handle a moderate energy grid?

I haven't been following the tech very closely.
