      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Storage can shift solar output to higher-value periods and improve the reliability of delivery to utilities and corporate buyers. It can also allow a project to participate in a broader set of power contracts that value timing, availability, or capacity alongside delivered energy. It also gives projects a better response to low midday prices and evening demand."

      "@type": "Question",
      "name": "What are the main barriers to new solar plant construction?",
      "acceptedAnswer": {
        "@type": "Answer",
        "text": "Grid connection queues, transmission upgrades, permitting, land use requirements, and revenue pressure during midday periods can delay or weaken projects. Smaller developers may be affected more because they have less capacity to carry costs through long approval periods."
