But the storage technologies most frequently coupled with solar power plants are electrochemical storage (batteries) with PV plants and thermal storage (fluids) with CSP plants. Other types of storage, such as compressed air storage and flywheels, may have different char...See more on energy.govMIT Energy Initiative
