The Solar + Battery combo is so, so valuable to many people with unreliable and/or expensive power. It really is the first time that households and small communities can have control over their own energy, when people can just stand up and do something about their power needs. The bottom-up solar boom in Pakistan is a prime example of this, and at least in this area I’m really hopeful.

Is there anything i can read/watch about this? Sounds fascinating
There’s a pretty nice report on the global energy transition here: https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/global-electricity-mid-year-insights-2025/
They also have a writeup on the future of battery storage here: https://ember-energy.org/latest-insights/silos-for-sunshine-weve-mastered-harvesting-the-sun-but-storage-is-the-gamechanger/
