In recent decades, solar energy has proven its power as a sustainable energy source. It has come a long way, from powering houses to carrying turbine functions. However, this mainstream alternative still grapples with a significant challenge – variability, especially regarding timings!

The main working of solar power depends upon the availability of solar rays. But what do you do when the sun goes down? This flaw leaves a reliability gap in the system compared to traditional energy sources operating 24/7.

But not when the time-shifting technology is just around the corner. With Sungrow's solar storage systems converting low-value energy to high-value periods, such as from midday to evening, this is no longer a dream. This technology tackles the issue by storing and releasing solar energy when needed, making solar power more dependable. To learn more about this, continue reading!

What Is Time-Shifting Technology?

Time-shifting technology, as the name explains, is all about shifting power. In this case, it refers to the shifting of power from a period of high solar production and low usage – afternoon – to a period of low production but high usage – evening and night. 

This technology implements the solar storage system. The system works as a charging source, saving all the extra harnessed sun's power for later uses. You can use this energy when the sun isn't shining much or when lots of electricity is needed but the sun isn't doing its job. With time-shifting, you can store solar energy in different ways, like: 

• Pumped hydro storage

• Molten salt storage

• LFP batteries 

These power options ensure high-temperature stability with longer lifespans. However, molten salt storage can be complex engineering to understand, whereas LFP batteries can be too costly. So, always select your electrical power storage depending on your needs.  

Advantages of Time-Shifting Technology 

Time-shifting technology is a reality in the world of power saving. Not only does this technology offer undeniable solutions to variable power distribution of solar systems, but it also provides other advantages, such as:

1. Reliability and Predictability   

Time-shifting ensures a steady power supply by storing excess energy in the solar storage system. This feature lets you release energy at your convenience, making it more reliable. The predictability of releasing stored energy during low sunlight or high-demand periods enhances grid stability. Plus, it reduces reliance on backups and guarantees a consistent, dependable source at all times.

2. Cost Saving

Investing in solar storage systems might seem overwhelming at first glance. However, when comparing the analytics of power saved over a longer duration, you'll realize this technology actually reduces your electricity bills. The stored solar energy will meet all your energy demands, billing the sun at the end of the day!

3. Reduces Dependence on the Grid

Lastly, time-shifting solar energy also liberates you from grid dependency. By storing solar power for later use, you can reduce reliance on the grid during low solar periods. This newfound energy autonomy fosters sustainability and insulates from grid fluctuations, contributing to a more resilient and self-sufficient energy future.
