Battery storage begins to play a key role for US grids
California and Texas increasingly rely on storage to balance the grid. Other states will follow. Wind power and photovoltaics require storage to ensure supply “The future is already here — it’s just not very evenly distributed.” That observation, from the great science fiction writer William Gibson, often provides a useful framework for thinking about technological … Continue reading Battery storage begins to play a key role for US grids

Rooftop photovoltaic solar now a major player in Australia’s grid, but households need more batteries
Rooftop solar is now the fourth latest source of electricity in Australia, and a major player in the grid that is unparalleled in the rest of the world, but the need to encourage Australians to work with the grid rather than get off it is becoming more urgent. Residential solar now accounts for 11.2 per … Continue reading Rooftop photovoltaic solar now a major player in Australia’s grid, but households need more batteries
Continue readingHome energy storage for photovoltaics is booming in the US.
Alexis de Tocqueville, the French diplomat and famous observer of America, noted in 1840 that in democratic countries such as the US, a citizen’s independence “fills him with self-reliance and pride amongst his equals”. That same spirit might have been expected to help make the US a global leader in residential solar power, with homeowners … Continue reading Home energy storage for photovoltaics is booming in the US.
