Solar energy storage system

2 May 2007
From Australian National University

This is further proof that base-load energy demands can be supplied by renewable energy sources.


“Because we are storing energy before generating electricity, we can deliver multi-megawatt base-load electricity and meet peak loads on-demand in the same way as coal, nuclear or gas fired power stations do. The efficiency of our storage system is also very high because we use a chemical process that has no extra energy losses regardless of how long the energy is stored.
