Happy New year All, I'm sure most have heard of this technology, using excess PV-powered motors to raise large weights to the top of a tower, then slowly lowering them to release energy, the motors now rotating as generators.
I've only read articles of a few of these under construction on a utility scale. I wonder if this has been tried on a smaller scale anywhere. Thoughts? Resources?
