ENERGY GRID APPLICATIONS
Round-the-Clock Power
for a More Resilient Grid
Before 247Solar technologies, generating electricity for grids from clean power was unpredictable. Electricity was available only when the sun was shining or the wind was blowing, and storing energy for later use required costly batteries that could only store for short durations. Today, 247Solar technologies make continuous round-the-clock clean electricity a reality – in any weather.
247Solar Plants™ and HeatStorE™ all-night batteries increase the reliability and resilience of grid electricity. Our flexible solutions provide 24/7/365 clean power with no need for emergency backup. They can disconnect without interrupting their generation of power when the main grid goes down, and instantly reconnect when the main grid recovers, providing an uninterrupted flow of power during voltage and demand fluctuations.
In situations when the available grid power exceeds the actual demand, 247Solar Plants™ or HeatStorE™ batteries can store and time-shift this excess power and deliver it back to the grid on demand. Grid operators can co-locate HeatStorE™ with substations to provide load shifting when grids go down.
24/7 Dispatchability
Unlike other renewable electricity systems, 247Solar Plants™ and HeatStorE™ batteries operate even when their storage is fully depleted. Their unique design enables them to burn most liquid or gaseous fuels, including natural gas, diesel, biofuels, and even hydrogen to guarantee 24/7 dispatchability.
Up to 20 hours storage
Our HeatStorE™ thermal battery is the low-cost solution for long-duration grid battery needs. Conventional electrochemical batteries are cost prohibitive when more than a few hours of grid support are required. HeatStorE™ provides grid support up to 20 hours for less than conventional batteries.
Solar Grid Application Use Case
247Solar solutions operate almost exactly like electric batteries but also provide spinning reserves at substation scale.
