Integrating intermittent energy sources such as solar energy into energy systems requires systems that are able to balance the energy production to the demand. This can be done by integrating the solar energy with different types of storage solutions and energy carriers.

This webinar will present examples of how different energy carriers, such as batteries, hydrogen or thermal energy, can be used to store and utilize the solar energy on site, both in off-grid and grid connected systems. In addition, the webinar will address how PV forecasting can be used in estimating the energy production and improve the energy management of such energy systems.
