Batteries don't just magically appear out of thin air, they are made of metals that are toxic to the environment, and uses extreme amounts of water and a destructive process to mine / extract.

The amount of lithium, cobalt and and nickel needed to build a grid level battery system and cost would be immense.

No problem, just multiply the world's current battery storage capacity by 180 to meet one country's demands. Boom solar grid!

You do realize that every single problem you just mentioned is easily solvable as the market continues to grow and money is spent on researching battery tech?
