Solar Energy and Critical Battery Storage

As anybody in the northern world, and most will tell you this winter has been cooler. Many folk down south will complain of a hotter summer though. This may be global warming or climate variation. But solar energy and critical battery storage can make a difference to our future, if we do something now. We explore the vital role these twin technologies already play in our lives today.

How Critical Battery Storage and Solar Energy Combine

Solar energy is no longer available after the sun slips below the horizon, until it reappears the following morning. Then we can tap into it again. Although dark clouds overhead attenuate its power. But storage batteries are on duty around the clock. That why we believe solar energy and critical battery storage are indispensable partners.

Batteries can also come into play during daylight, as well as at night. A utility just needs to activate them when daytime demand peaks in summer. Compare this with a very large generating plant during a sudden unplanned outage. There’s no Plan B in that case, is there? Unless of course, there are batteries able to temporarily take over the role.

How Battery Storage is Also Remarkably Cheaper

However, very large power stations had one over photovoltaic cells in the beginning. That’s because fossil could deliver consistent power regardless of the weather. Solar power was on the back foot, until someone came up with the idea of very large battery farms. Case closed, they said. Fossil power no longer rules our lives.

It is such a shame so many people still don’t get the point. Don’t get it critical battery storage is not only cheaper, it could also help reverse global warming.  “Tut-Tut” our grand kids will say some day. “It’s such a pity the old folk took so long to wake up to the power of batteries.”

I tripped over a shrinking bank balance and fell into the writing gig unintentionally. This was after I escaped the corporate world and searched in vain for ways to become rich on the internet by doing nothing. Despite the fact that writing is no recipe for wealth, I rather enjoy it. I will not deny I am obsessed with it when I have the time. I live in Margate on the Kwazulu-Natal south coast of South Africa. I work from home where I ponder on the future of the planet, and what lies beyond in the great hereafter. Sometimes I step out of my computer into the silent riverine forests, and empty golden beaches for which the area is renowned. Richard
