Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid. These variations are attributable to changes in the amount of sunlight that shines onto photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems.

A legend has it that used a "burning glass" to concentrate sunlight on the invading Roman fleet and repel them from . In 1973 a Greek scientist, Dr. Ioannis Sakkas, curious about whether Archimedes could really have destroyed the Roman fleet in 212 BC, lined up nearly 60 Greek sailors, each holding an oblong mirror tipped to catch the sun's rays and direct them at a tar-covered plywood silhouette 49 m (160 ft) away. The ship caught fire after a few minutes; ho.

The different kinds of thermal energy storage can be divided into three separate categories: sensible heat, latent heat, and thermo-chemical heat storage. Each of these has different advantages and disadvantages that determine their applications. Sensible heat storage (SHS) is the most straightforward method. It simply means the temperature of some medium is either increased or decreased. This type of storage is the most commerciall.

CSP is used to produce electricity (sometimes called solar thermoelectricity, usually generated through ). Concentrated solar technology systems use or with systems to focus a large area of sunlight onto a small area. The concentrated light is then used as heat or as a heat source for a conventional (solar thermoelectricity). The solar concentrators use.

Energy storage in solar thermal power stations can be achieved through thermal energy storage (TES) systems1. These systems absorb daytime heat from the solar field and store it in a molten salt mixture. The stored heat can then be used to drive a turbine-generator when direct sunlight is not available, extending the hours of operation1. Power cycles in CSP thermal energy plants convert this stored heat into electricity2.

As a thermal energy generating power station, CSP has more in common with such as coal, gas, or geothermal. A CSP plant can incorporate , which stores energy either in the form of or as (for example, using ), which enables these plants to continue supplying electricity whenever it is needed, day or night. This makes CSP a form of solar. Dispatchable is particularl.

Last October, Wenshan Electric took over China Southern Power Grid Peak and Frequency Modulation Power Generation from its parent firm China Southern Power Grid through major asset restructuring. It then shifted focus to become an energy storage company to ensure stable operation of the grid as more power is generated by new energy sources.

Since 2022, Russian targeting of Ukraine's power infrastructure has sought to destabilise the electricity system by disabling large coal and gas-fired generation units and key parts of the transmission network. Prior to Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022, nuclear power generated half of the country’s electricity, followed by coal-fired .
