I don’t get the third graph, isn’t it saying that we’d need less battery capacity to flatten out the energy usage in Birmingham than in sunnier cities, how does that make sense?

Less sun -> Less electricity produces -> Less electricity needs to be stored
Basically in Birmingham you need a lot more solar panels to have the same impact.
