CleanTechnica: Energy Storage Exists, & It’s Coming For Your Fossil Fuels

The latest development in the C&I space involves a concentrating solar power system capable of delivering the clean kilowatts on a ’round-the-clock basis, with the help of thermal energy storage.

The US startup 247Solar is among the CSP innovators not waiting around for further support from the Energy Department. The company’s flagship “247Solar Plant” heat-plus-power system combines CSP with a heat-storing battery, enabling it to last longer than earlier CSP-based energy storage systems. As a backup, the battery is also designed to be source-agnostic, running on alternate fuels in case of a shortfall in solar availability. The battery is also compatible with wind power and grid-sourced electricity, too.
