Energy Storage 301: Solar + Storage Economics - Case Study
In this post we examine the economics of solar + storage. Specifically, we calculate the value of solar and storage for two commercial buildings in each of three markets: California, New York, and Hawaii. We find solar and storage are strongly synergistic in all three markets. The NPVs of solar + storage investments are greater than the sum of the NPVs of solar investments and storage ...

All Gateways are Not Created Equal
Often it can be said that your solar system is only as good as the solar panels and inverters. You know, “higher wattage is always better”. But what if that is just a myth? Making power is only one element of the equation. You also need to manage that power intelligently. And you also need to have choices, based upon changes in public policy dictated by public utility commissions. ...

Earn money through electricity consumption - soon negative electricity prices?
Will the coming additions of solar and wind capacities deliver more than 3,000 hours of negative electricity prices in 2030? So should one build up stupid consumption (something like an environmental heating system, for example) in order to earn massive amounts of money? Hardly, because today's market order will change completely or collapse beforehand. There is a widespread belief that we ...

7 Theses on Storage Systems in Commercial Applications
Solar storage systems are now the focus of attention more than ever before. The application areas are as different as the requirements. While private PV system operators work toward optimizing self-consumption, storage systems in industry are mainly used to provide control reserve and thus ensure grid stability. In commercial storage system applications, the main focus is on efficiency and a ...

Off-Grid Solar Systems – Self Sustainable Solar Energy
Newer, more efficient solar panels and inverters have been in the news recently, but advancements in solar technology aren’t limited to standard equipment. Energy storage is also moving closer to mass-market adoption, and more installers are offering solar batteries and solar panel battery banks (a.k.a. solar-plus-storage) as an option for homeowners. Solar-plus-storage systems include a ...

Solar energy based thermal energy storage system using phase change materials
Nowadays for solar heating applications, usage of phase change materials (PCM) to store the heat in the form of latent heat is increased, because large quantity of thermal energy is stored in small volume. The present experimental investigation on the thermal energy storage (TES) system is developed using paraffin and stearic acid as PCM. In the present system solar energy is used as heat source ...

Power Outage Solutions: How Businesses Can Protect Themselves from Blackouts
In a few short weeks, the U.S. saw unprecedented stretches of its territory go dark. Millions of people across the nation experienced blackouts in October, feeling the first-hand wrath of a changing climate and an aging grid. On the west coast, the threat of wildfires spurred three of California’s largest utilities to cut power to millions of people; some were without power for more than ...

Exergy analysis of a multi–tank thermal storage system for solar heating applications
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the stored exergy of a stratified multi–tank system when subjected to various charge and discharge strategies. Tests were performed over 8–h and 48–h test periods, for constant temperature charging, variable input power charging, constant volume hourly draws and variable volume hourly draws. For each set of test parameters, three ...

Reverse DC-Coupled PV+Storage
In 2018, Dynapower deployed the first DC-DC converter in a DC-coupled PV+S (PV + storage) configuration at an existing utility-scale PV+S installation. Since then, the innovative solar-plus-storage solution has gained traction due to the ability of DC-coupled PV+S to increase PV energy capture and decrease the costs as compared to AC-coupled energy storage solutions. Recent reports from IHS ...
