The California-based Hyperlight Energy will be piloting an installation where they plan to use existing oil wells as solar thermal wellsprings, with the stored energy being converted back to clean electricity when required. But we can still reduce the carbon [cost] of that oil.”

a) Hybrid solar converter (award Categories 1A and 1B). b) Hybrid storage system (award Category 2). Although CSP can integrate inexpensive thermal energy storage, the cost of CSP solar energy capture is high. Schematics of technology areas addressed by the FOCUS FOA. Source: ARPA-E.
