Solar + Storage

Solar + Storage
News published on international energy portals show the Chinese regulatory requirement to include storage systems on solar farms.
The reason is simple and well known. The intermittency of the sun requires the instantaneous action of the public grid ("backup"), which is an additional demand, imposing conditions not foreseen in the original projects of the existing generation, transmission and distribution system.
Storage came to mitigate this new requirement. And, concomitantly, it will require an extra cost of around 20% on the project.
It will also allow solar projects to be able to arbitrate costs and thus obtain additional revenues, storing when energy from the public grid is "cheap" and exporting when it is expensive.
