    |
|
There are three parts to using solar energy or alternative sustainable energy efficiently;
efficient collection or generation of energy
efficient storage and
efficient use to offset demand loads.
Of these three the missing link is typically the storage efficiency of the collected electrical or thermal energy from the sun. I am looking for input regarding projects using efficient long term storage that would empower collection of energy during the hot summer months and use during the winter months. A seasonal cycle rather than a daily cycle.
Specifically requesting any information on long term electrical starage and long term thermal storage of energy.
Can it be done?
