Technical FAQs 4

Can solar energy be used for energy storage?

Solar power can be used to create new fuels that can be stored and later used to provide energy. Existing compressed air energy storage systems often use the released air as part of a natural gas power cycle to produce electricity.

How does solar energy storage work?

Batteries are the most used form of solar energy storage, but there are even other options to store electricity of your PV system. One of them is directing the electricity from your PV to water electrolysers, which generate hydrogen gas. Hydrogen is then stored and used as feedstock for fuel cells to generate electricity when needed.

Is battery storage a good way to store solar energy?

Thankfully, battery storage can now offer homeowners a cost-effective and efficient way to store solar energy. Lithium-ion batteries are the go-to for home solar energy storage. They’re relatively cheap (and getting cheaper), low profile, and suited for a range of needs.

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.
