Storage key to solar photovoltaic power success
Storing and concentrating the power generated from solar panels so that it can be used throughout the day is key to driving utilization of this form of renewable energy. Storage
technologies range from batteries to pumped hydro. The pumped hydro storage technique stores energy in the form of water, which has been pumped from a lower elevation to a higher elevation reservoir. Then, when demand increases, the stored water is released to power turbines. …
… “But add storage to allow a utility to deliver in the evening the solar power that was generated during the morning and afternoon, and — through the magic of storage — the figure zooms dramatically.” …
