Technical FAQs 4

What is energy storage?

Energy storage is a system that can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. Sometimes it is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone.

Why is solar storage important?

Solar storage is important because it allows solar energy to contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. It also helps smooth out variations in solar energy flow on the grid, which are caused by changes in sunlight.

How efficient is a solar energy storage system?

This type of system can achieve efficiencies of around 70%, has a lifespan of more than 30 years, and can provide storage capacities up to 10GWh, as researched by the European Association for Storage of Energy (EASE) .

Should solar energy be combined with storage technologies?

Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case. The reason is that solar energy is not always produced at the time energy is needed most. Peak power usage often occurs on summer afternoons and evenings, when solar energy generation is falling.
