They even out fluctuations with virtually no losses, taking over a task that is currently being performed in part by fossil-fuelled power plants. This can speed up the energy transformation and eliminate the cost of expanding the grid and building new power plants.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/solarthermalmagazine.com\/2017\/08\/16\/worlds-largest-second-use-battery-storage-system\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Read more &gt;&gt;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><b>4 Unusual Uses of Solar PV Technology<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As costs continue to drop and energy production continues to rise, experts expect to see many more places where solar technologies are put to work\u2014providing unleashed, inexpensive electricity.
