Utilizing energy storage with a solar power system is a way for power generators to help balance the supply of energy with demand for electricity. As solar power becomes less expensive, and more widely available, the market potential for adding storage to those systems will grow as well. Multi-vector energy systems might leverage thermal storage as a cost-effective solution in the storage capacity range from hours to weeks. POWER: What are the cost advantages to having storage adjacent to a solar farm, as opposed to a standalone storage system? By pairing solar systems with storage certain economic benefits are achieved from a single interconnection process, which can be a lengthy and costly process.
