Solar power’s biggest ally, the battery energy storage systems (BESS), has arrived in force in 2024. The pairing of batteries with solar photovoltaic (PV) farms is rapidly reshaping how and when solar energy is used, turning daylight-only generation into flexible, round-the-clock power.
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.
Battery energy-storage systems typically include batteries, battery-management systems, power-conversion systems and energy-management systems 21 (Fig. 2b).
Crucially, adding storage to solar dramatically enhances the value of solar energy. A recent modeling study of a 300 MW solar plant in South Australia found that including an equal-sized battery (300 MW with 2 hours storage) would increase the energy exported to the grid by 33 percent, and boost project revenues by an astonishing 170 percent.
