This one’s got me wondering- their website says they can install 1-3MW of storage per acre. It could be I’m not seeing this right, but does that seem troublingly low? I usually don’t think much of the “renewables use too much land” argument (you can put solar on all kinds of dead space that’s already developed, wind on active ag land, go offshore, mining and drilling and ethanol use space too, etc.), but- does this use too much land? I suppose you could stick panels up on top of the warehouse enclosure for these if it’s sturdy enough?
