Solar dishEnergy storage is one of the greatest milestones facing the renewable energy industry. You can't control the winds or the sun's rays, so intermittency is a problem and you can't flood the grid when you most need an electric boost. This also means that a lot of the power that is ready for the grid isn't used, and is lost....<br><br><a href='https://inhabitat.com/solving-the-energy-storage-conundrum-with-compressed-air-chambers/'>READ ARTICLE</a>1
