If hydrogen can be used as a battery then it would not be a waste as the cost
of solar comes down you have a use for excess capacity

Perhaps at some point. However, solar panels are still expensive and
inefficient enough that it seems like a waste to convert their
electricity to hydrogen. If I remember correctly, you'll loose 50% of
the energy during that step versus maybe an 80% overall efficiency level
for an EV.
