Molten salt batteries still account for a majority of installations by energy capacity, because of NGK Insulators’ early lead, but are no longer the technology of choice, according to Lux. Japan maintained its lead in installed energy storage capacity with 1,174 MWh. Among their findings: Japan and the US hold the lead.

Global solar energy supplies are growing rapidly, with nearly 10 times as much solar capacity installed today as there was a decade ago. Today, nearly 120 projects operate worldwide, and Spain claims more than a third of total installed capacity. The first utility-scale solar-thermal plants were built in the 1980s. It's flexible.

Using reflective mirrors, the sun’s radiation will heat a liquid salt within each receiver. A specialized molten salt transport system will then move the high-temperature fluid to a molten-salt steam generator that produces electricity. The system will also feature a thermal storage system.

The marginal economic value of installing PV is predicted to fall by half when PV meets more than 20% of the California utility load. inexpensive molten salt storage and/or the use of a steam Rankine turbine). In this case, novel technology elements must be added to efficiently store electricity at the same time.

Thermal Storage: Molten Salt Storage: This involves storing heat in molten salt and using it to generate steam, which then drives a turbine to produce electricity. Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES): In CAES systems, excess electricity is used to compress air, which is then stored in underground caverns.
