A novel project in Australia aims to harness the sun’s energy in two different ways: by storing it and by using it to produce green hydrogen. Operators can use the systems to store energy from solar panels and deliver power to the grid during cloudy days or at night. At least that’s the vision Alan Yu and his partners share.

The Center for Urban Energy (CUE) at Ryerson University in Canada is testing a 150 kW Li-ion battery provided by Electrovaya in collaboration with Toronto Hydro to prove how off-peak electricity can be stored. When energy generation is high, we can store it in batteries; when the demand is high, we can use that power.
