battery storage
Stored electrical capacity
Battery storage is the capture and retention of electrical energy in batteries for later use.
The term usually refers to large-scale systems that store power from renewable sources like solar and wind, releasing it when demand peaks or generation drops: The grid relies on battery storage to balance supply.
Home battery storage lets households save excess solar energy for nighttime use.
