Or eat beans.

It does seem a reasonable way to store energy, use solar to store compressed air then store it until the sun isn’t shining. No lithium needed. I suppose you could power a generator from it.

So you have solar panels to charge batts to run a compressor to power a motor to turn an alternator to make electricity that charges batts...hmm.

ETA mind you I guess if you had the sort of engine which uses compressed air as a starter mechanism...
