UNSW researchers have made a major breakthrough in renewable energy technology by producing electricity from so-called ''night-time'' solar power. The team from the School of Photovoltaic and Renewable
While thermal storage is an effective option, it is not the only way to make solar energy available at night. Another rapidly developing solution is high-capacity batteries, which can store electricity generated during the day
This adds to the expense of a solar power system, since it can''t generate power 24/7. A cloud floats overhead and the plant is suddenly at an energy standstill, producing nothing. It also makes solar-generated power
