Sleek solar panels forged from silver and silica from the depths of the Earth translate the sun’s blindingly fiery light energy into electricity. While most energy storage for the US electricity grid today is in the form of pumped hydro systems , batteries are a growing piece of the storage pie. Batteries help store surplus energy.
