3 The Importance of Battery Storage
• Battery energy storage is proven, reliable and cost-effective • It works on a daily basis: it will be charged during the day when clean solar energy is abundant and it will discharge in the evenings when the sun sets • Nighthawk will be capable of supplying ~300,000 homes for 4 hours • Energy storage is different from traditional power generation: it is beneficial to be located close to the load
