The folks at MIT have figured out how to make solar energy practical. For any given demand, you install 3 times as much capacity as would ordinarily be required, and use the surplus to electrolyze water. During the off hours, you recombine the Hydrogen and Oxygen in fuel cells to produce electricity. This is not a new concept, as some Googling on the Cabin Creek pumped hydro facility will reveal.
Who knows, maybe it will work. I'm not holding my breath.
