At night, when solar power generation declines, water from the higher reservoir begins to flow to generate electricity. Likewise, in thermal storage, excess heat or electricity generated during the day is used to heat up liquids or materials, such as molten salts. This heat is harnessed to run a steam turbine at night for electricity generation.

6 Low-temperature thermal energy storage
Sensible storage of heat and cooling uses a liquid or solid storage medium witht high heat capacity, for example, water or rock. Latent storage uses the phase change of a material to absorb or release energy. Thermochemical storage stores energy as either the heat of a reversible chemical reaction or a sorption process.
