Thermal energy storage

Thermal energy storage is a technology that captures and stores heat for later use. It works by absorbing surplus heat during times of low demand, such as hot sunny days or when energy costs are low, and then releasing that stored heat when needed, like during colder nights or peak energy usage. This process helps balance energy supply and demand, improves efficiency, and can reduce energy costs. Common methods include using water tanks, melted salts, or specialized materials that retain heat, making it a valuable solution for both residential and industrial energy management.
