Technical FAQs 4

Why is solar storage important?

Solar storage is important because it allows solar energy to contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. It also helps smooth out variations in solar energy flow on the grid, which are caused by changes in sunlight.

How many solar panels are needed to generate a gigawatt?

A gigawatt is a unit of power equal to one billion watts and is generally used to measure large-scale energy production such as the output of a photovoltaic or wind energy system. To put this into perspective, to generate a gigawatt of energy, 3.125 million solar panels would be required.

Can solar energy be used for energy storage?

Solar power can be used to create new fuels that can be stored and later used to provide energy. Existing compressed air energy storage systems often use the released air as part of a natural gas power cycle to produce electricity.

What is energy storage?

Energy storage is a system that can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. Sometimes it is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone.
