This feels like one of those technologies that dead ends because the costs of PV solar cells/wind turbines and batteries is dropping so fast that by the time it's ready for the mass market it is no longer competitive, especially when you add in the complexity of engineering the solution to match your problem and being a first mover on a new technology.
I note that even the figure provided in the article ($2,000/MWh) is out of date, and current prices are closer to $500/MWh and still dropping. I'd expect this to be a nice niche solution for them but have tepid uptake elsewhere.
