What is a sand battery heat storage system?
A sand battery heat storage system is a novel technology that uses sand as a medium to store and release thermal energy. The system consists of a layer of sand or other high thermal capacity material, typically housed in a tank or other containment vessel. During periods of excess heat or energy generation, such as from solar panels or a heat pump, the sand is heated up and stores the thermal energy. When heat is needed, the sand is used to transfer the stored energy back into the system for heating or cooling purposes. This innovative technology offers a sustainable and efficient way to store and utilize thermal energy in both residential and commercial applications.
