Systems Integration Basics. Solar-Plus-Storage 101. Solar panels have one job: They collect sunlight and transform it into electricity. But they can make that energy only when the sun is shining. That''s why the ability to store solar energy for later use is important: It helps to keep the balance between electricity generation and demand.
Energy storage is important because existing energy grids aren''t built to store power; they''re built to keep a balance between supply and demand. Electricity grids must maintain a stable frequency — in the U.S., that''s 60 hertz — in order for electricity to run smoothly along transmission lines.
