Solar, battery storage to lead new U.S. generating capacity
In , generators added a record 30 GW of utility-scale solar to the U.S. grid, accounting for 61% of capacity additions last year. We expect this trend will continue in , with 32.5 GW
Solar Energy's Unstoppable Ascendancy: The Role of Battery
Solar energy's unstoppable ascendancy has largely been caused by increased battery capacity and durability.
Solar Integration: Solar Energy and Storage Basics
What Is Energy Storage?Advantages of Combining Storage and SolarTypes of Energy StoragePumped-Storage HydropowerElectrochemical StorageThermal Energy StorageFlywheel StorageCompressed Air StorageSolar FuelsVirtual StorageA flywheel is a heavy wheel attached to a rotating shaft. Expending energy can make the wheel turn faster. This energy can be extracted by attaching the wheel to an electrical generator, which uses electromagnetism to slow the wheel down and produce electricity. Although flywheels can quickly provide power, they can’t store a lot of energy.See more on energy.gov
