Effect of solar systems with storage on the power grid

Always having those things full only in summer and standing empty in winter doesn’t help anyone. In winter, I use the storage with my variable electricity tariff. Charging at cheap times, discharging at expensive times. The difference must of course be significant enough to compensate for the charging/discharging losses. But especially when the wind is blowing, there can be differences of 20-30 cents within 24 hours.

Germany used to be a leading industrial location driven by the highest innovations and today is only a shadow of its former self.

A major battery manufacturer like Varta, whose origins can be traced back to 1887, is going bankrupt today instead of developing new business areas through research, such as storage solutions for photovoltaic electricity. Currently, it is just a plaything of dubious financial investors.

A completely messed up education policy does the rest, and we no longer have the human capital to further develop ourselves as a resource-poor country through pioneering technologies. Therefore, it is no surprise that we have been stagnating in storage solutions for years.

And the few moderately useful storage systems come from China. What haven’t we Germans invented with our inventive spirit. Radio, telephone, television, MP3, computer, cars, even rockets that can fly to the moon and to stay on construction, plastic dowels. All history.

For useful and practical energy storage, it simply hasn’t been enough anymore.

What we need are long-term storage and above all storage that can store a lot of electricity, which is correspondingly cost-effective. Where electricity from the summer can then be consumed in the winter.
