In solar power systems

February 4th, 2010 by admin

In solar power systems (solar panels for beginners) of all sizes, ways to store excess solar energy are crucial. Surplus solar power that’s generated during the day will be kept in a storage to be dispensed during the night. The most common way to store electricity is to use rechargeable batteries. This is almost always the case, even for an off-grid solar power system. All it needs is a larger set of batteries.For grid energy storage — which are very large systems — many possibilities are available. These include pumped-water storage, super-conducting magnetic storage, thermal storage, compressed air, frictionless flywheel, and compressed hydrogen. These solutions are however still in their infancy. Hence they are not commonly applied.
