Solar power day & night, New Mexico storage project

Storage Solar $2m from U.S. Department of Energy

PNM New Mexico's largest electric utility is teaming up with federal scientists and researchers at two colleges to develop a way for managing solar energy so it can be accessed when it's most needed, rather than only when the sun shines.

"If we can make renewable energy even more beneficial by having that ability to control its output through batteries, then we can really identify offsets for fossil fuel resources,"

PNM project say it's one of the largest efforts to combine solar panels and batteries for producing and storing electricity.
