As the adoption of solar energy increases in developing countries due to its economic and utility value, there is an increased need for low cost and efficient storage systems to complement photovoltaic generation systems. These battery systems would have the potential to manage large-scale electricity generation fluctuations and grid balancing.

Here we will discuss one such ingenious storage system, Gravity based energy storage.

Here are some of the key points related to this technology:

1. Gravity-based solar energy storage uses electricity to lift mass to a higher elevation, thereby storing potential energy. Lowering its mass discharges the energy that can again be converted to electricity with a shorter response time and flexibility.

2. This was developed by two researchers from the School of Engineering and Sustainable Development, De Montfort University, Leicester, United Kingdom, and from the Ahmadu Bello University, Zaria, Nigeria.

3. This storage system can be used to provide electricity in the night time while storing electricity ftom solar energy in daytime. Their work has acheived an efficiency of 62% which still has scope for improvement.

4. Previously in 2019, MNRE had also issued invitations requesting proposals for developing gravity storage projects with solar photovoltaic systems for producing hydrogen from water.
