Sure. Well, even though the idea sounded somewhat interesting, it didn't seem practical at all.

When it comes to storage of that solar energy, lead-acid batteries still seem to be the most cost-effective option, even though I'd probably prefer spiral-plate ones such as those Optima instead of conventional ones.
