Excess solar energy is stored as hot fluid : in the tanks during the day and released to power the turbine and make electricity during cloudy periods or at night. kept available, especially if PV makes up a

October 2015 Hydro electric plants above 50MW are considered ‘Large’. We exclude this technology from this analysis as projects of this size and engineering complexity can not be generalized
