READ MOREWhat is thermal energy storage? Thermal energy storage means heating or cooling a medium to use the energy when needed later. In its simplest form, this could mean using a water tank for heat storage, where the water is heated at times when there is a lot of energy, and the energy is then stored in the water for use when energy is less plentiful.

READ MOREAdvantages of Combining Storage and Solar. Balancing electricity loads – Without storage, electricity must be generated and consumed at the same time, which may mean that grid operators take some generation offline, or "curtail" it, to avoid over-generation and grid reliability issues. Conversely, there may be other times, after sunset or
