Even the most ardent solar evangelist can agree on one limitation of solar panels: They can only generate electricity when the sun is shining. However, peak energy use tends to occur at night, which coincides with a decrease in solar power generation and causes supply and demand issues. The problem is that solar panels typically pump out enough energy during sunny, low-demand periods to meet peak demand later in the day. This means that efficient solar energy storage can provide rich possibilities for homeowners and businesses alike.

What are the benefits of storing solar energy?
Storing this excess energy is critical to getting the most out of any solar panel system and can save costs, improve grid efficiency and reduce fossil fuel emissions. Storing solar energy has several key benefits:

Balance the electrical load. If electricity is not stored, it must be used the moment it is generated. Energy storage allows excess generation to be stored for peak usage. In the case of renewable energy, storing surplus electricity can keep lights on when the sun goes down or the wind stops. Simply put, energy storage allows the storage to be charged when generation is high and demand is low, and then released when generation decreases and demand increases.
Fill in the blanks. Short-term solar storage allows for a consistent flow of energy during brief generator outages, such as through clouds or routine maintenance.
Energy resilience. Energy grids are vulnerable to disruption and disruption due to everything from wildfires to severe weather. Solar storage creates a protective bubble during disruptive events by decentralizing where we get our energy from.
