Seasonal storage is mostly not needed. Close to the equator it is not due to not really having a season problem. Further to the poles you have stronger winds in winter.

That could be the case. But with solar prices consistently dropping every year it should dominate even more in the future. I'm not so sure wind will keep up

So does wind, just not as fast as solar.
