Unless there's been some new exotic materials discovered that solves 
the hydrogen embrittement problem, hydrogen on a large scale will 
either be very very expensive for the pipe/bottle replacements needed, 
or will simply create a different sort of "bomb" (vs.  a lithum battery 
fire) sitting next door.

A better 'solution' (although the catalyst tech may not yet exist) is 
some form of electrically driven catalyst that could extract CO2 from 
the air and synthesize some form of liquid fuel (liquid at STP).  Then 
solar PV would have a "sink" for their extra energy, and the 
synthesized liquid fuel could be stored in normal non-pressure vessels, 
piped/transported via the existing liquid fuel infrastructure, and 
'burned' at a location remote from the synthesis to "move energy 
around".

Of course the rabid greenies would see "burn fuel to make electricity" 
as bad, even if the fuel being burned was synthesized via Solar PV 
energy and atmospheric CO2 (plus likely water input as well, since one 
tends to need some hydrocarbon bonds to create a fuel that is liquid at 
STP).
