Interesting concept, but it's basically trying to store hydrogen for winter, with up to 60% losses. It's main advantages are that it's kinda simple and shouldn't have a charge/discharge limit, but it's really just meant for cold climates where you would have a surplus of solar in the summer and you could use it much later, like in the winter. Not gonna be great for grid level storage, to lossy.

It seems like it's best use case would be in conjunction with nearby buildings. Where the waste heat can be used for heating.
