They can help to match energy supply and demand exploit variable renewable solar and wind energy sources increase the overall efficiency of the energy system and reduce carbon dioxide emissions.
Solar power generation and storage.
Energy storage systems are designed to accumulate energy when production exceeds demand and to make it available at the user s request.
Unlike conventional energy systems solar energy storage systems gain critical intelligence via software controllers.
Hawaiian islands utility will end the use of coal power generation and replace it with another 300mw of solar pv and almost 2gwh of energy storage.

Grid energy storage also called large scale energy storage is a collection of methods used for energy storage on a large scale within an electrical power grid electrical energy is stored during times when electricity is plentiful and inexpensive especially from intermittent power plants such as renewable electricity sources such as wind power tidal power solar power or when demand is low.
The power generation of such solar hybrid power systems is therefore more constant and fluctuates less than each of the two component subsystems.
Thermal energy storage for solar power generation at night.
Solar power is seasonal particularly in northern southern climates away from the equator suggesting a need for long term seasonal storage in a medium such as hydrogen or pumped hydroelectric.
