- Salt Tanks provide thermal energy storage so that output can be provided after sunset, and output can be scheduled to meet demand requirements. The 280 MW Solana Generating Station is designed to provide six hours of energy storage. This allows the plant to generate about 38% of its rated capacity over the course of a year. (en)
- Energy from sunlight or other renewable energy is converted to potential energy for storage in devices such as electric batteries or higher-elevation water reservoirs. The stored potential energy is later converted to electricity that is added to the power grid, even when the original energy source is not available. (en)
- Pumped-storage hydroelectricity . This facility in Geesthacht, Germany, also includes a solar array. (en)
- Thermal energy storage. The Andasol CSP plant uses tanks of molten salt to store solar energy. (en)
