Turning a solar power system into its own backup
While photovoltaic panels have become the cheapest power source, this new approach uses concentrated solar energy to share generating hardware with a fossil-fueled backup system. This aims to reduce the need for separate battery or gas facilities for overnight power.
Key points
- New system integrates solar generation with backup hardware
- Aims to reduce reliance on separate battery or gas facilities
- Contrasts concentrated solar with cheaper photovoltaic panels
