A French start-up has developed a concrete flywheel to store solar energy in an innovative way. Currently being tested in France, the storage solution will be initially offered in France''s overseas territories and Africa.

The flywheel has a diameter of one meter and weighs three tons, and can be placed in the garden of a private house. The system capacity should be increased, initially, to 20 kWh, and then 50 kWh, to eventually reach 24 hours of storage. "The size limit will be given by logistics as we have to find cranes capable of burying the flywheels in

The bottom line is: the cost of energy storage with an ENERGIESTRO flywheel is much lower than with a battery. As a standard, ENERGIESTRO offers a power rating enabling a charge or discharge in one hour (for instance the 10 kWh flywheel has a 10 kW power rating). For 24 hour storage, the optimal ratio between capacity (kWh) and power (kW) is
