Introduction
Sand is a favored thermal energy storage media as it has very high thermal stability allowing it to cycle between ambient air temperature and over 1000°C. The wide temperature range increases energy storage density and system efficiency. By using sand as a low-cost, durable medium, engineers are unlocking new ways to store heat and supply consistent, round-the-clock clean energy. GBA experts ponder whether the heat gained from all this solar thermal equipment is worth the investment.
