- PV storage systems play a decisive role in the energy revolution.
- Greater private consumption of solar energy can contribute to the stabilisation of the power grids.
- 4 companies and 3 research institutes are cooperating in the project.
January 2014 saw the start of the research project Sol-ion+: Seven partners from the fields of research and industry aim to prove that the storage of solar energy offers many benefits not only to the end user but also to the stabilisation of distribution networks. Such storage systems enable the consumer to draw significantly less energy from the public power grid and, instead, to use more electricity from their own photovoltaic system. The scalability of these systems also makes it possible to achieve higher outputs, so that they can absorb power fluctuations when used in the public power supply, thereby increasing the stability of the electricity supply.
