Central storage areas would work for highly populated areas.

Outside of populated areas, individual systems could be developed.

For instance, a chimney like structure could be added to a home with a
winch-motor-generator and a large weight. (Concrete or water)

Many years ago, I think it was Popular Science. Had a article that proposed putting a large concrete flywheel in the basement of a home for energy storage.
