Thirdly, energy storage can bring more revenue for PV power plants, but the capacity of energy storage is limited, so it can't be used as the main consumption path for PV power generation. The more photovoltaic power generation used for energy storage, the greater the total profit of the power station.
However, if hydrogen is produced by reducing the amount of electricity connected to the grid, the overall benefits of the photovoltaic power plant will be lost. Thirdly, energy storage can bring more revenue for PV power plants, but the capacity of energy storage is limited, so it can't be used as the main consumption path for PV power generation.
If photovoltaic power stations want to utilize excess electricity through hydrogen production or energy storage, the cost and profit of hydrogen production and energy storage need to be considered. When the cost is less than the profit, investment and construction can be carried out.
