What? You don't have Google? Options I know of (other than batteries and pumped hydro) : Compressed Air Energy Storage, Thermal Energy Storage,, Fly wheels, Hydrogen, Supercapacitors, Gravitational Storage

  1. It's not easy to go over all options.
  2. Many of these are largely theoretical, or for temporary storage. For instance, I don't think fluwheels can store energy for months.

Are you proposing that the sun may not shine and the wind not blow anywhere at all for months?

[–] someacnt_@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yeah, it is like that in some places. Also solar flux vary a lot by seasons as well. Dunno if wind has as much of an issue, but surely not great.
