Solar Integration: Solar Energy and Storage Basics
Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn''t shining by releasing the energy when it''s needed.

The need for these systems arises because of the intermittency and uncontrollable production of wind, solar, and tidal energy sources. Therefore, a storage system that can store energy produced from renewable energy sources and then convert it into electrical energy when required is highly needed.
Ultimately, residential and commercial solar customers, and utilities and large-scale solar operators alike, can benefit from solar-plus-storage systems. As research continues and the costs of solar energy and storage come down, solar and storage solutions will become more accessible to all Americans.
Sometimes energy storage is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone, but in either configuration, it can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. What Is Energy Storage?
Energy storage integration, such as batteries and molten salt thermal storage, with solar power generation, enables grid flexibility, enhances reliability, and enables dispatchable solar electricity.
Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn''t shining by releasing the energy when it''s needed.
