Best Answer

It can.

  • You can have solar panels on your roof and store the energy in batteries.
  • Concentrated Solar Farms focus thousands of mirrors on a central tower where a substance (melted salt, or water). Molten salt can store heat overnight, so electricity can be generated 24 hours a day.
  • Other ways of storing solar power is to use spare electricity produced during the day to pump water to a uphill dam. This can then be released during the night to produce electricity.
  • You can even charge the battery in an electric car (at night, when electricity is cheaper) and then run it into your home during the day.

How is solar energy stored energy?

Solar energy, whether heat or light, is not stored energy. It is radiant energy. It needs to be converted in order to store it. Plants produce glucose, which stores it as chemical energy. Solar heat installations usually store it as heat in a fluid. Solar electric installations produce current electricity, which can be stored in various ways including batteries and pumped water storage.
