Flow batteries for grid-scale energy storage | MIT Sustainability
A promising technology for performing that task is the flow battery, an electrochemical device that can store hundreds of megawatt-hours of energy — enough to keep thousands of homes running for many hours on a single charge. Flow batteries have the potential for long lifetimes and low costs in part due to their unusual design.
Ensuring Power During Outages: Grid-Tied Solar with Battery Backup
A major difference between off-grid and grid-tied solar is that storage solutions are optional for grid-tied systems. Because grid-tied systems can store excess energy on the grid for free, they can still use solar energy to fulfill 100% of a building''s energy needs with around-the-clock access to power (except when the grid goes down).
