Back in 2017 we caught wind of an interesting energy system designed to store solar power in liquid form for years at a time. By hooking it up to an ultra-thin thermoelectric generator, the team has now demonstrated that it can produce electricity.
The researchers behind an energy system that helps capture solar energy, has the ability to store it for up to 18 years, and then liberate it when and where it is required have currently taken the system a step ahead.
The energy system designed by the Chalmers University of Technology captures solar energy and stores it for 18 years, and releases that energy on demand.
