How did he solve the real problems of Solar Energy: Storage and AC conversion?

AC conversion is solved by inverters I believe.

Storage is not a solar energy problem... it's an energy problem. I don't think anyone proposes having an all-solar grid anyway.

 

The problem is not if AC conversion can be done, its that only a fraction of the energy captured survives the conversion.
