The lowest cost answer to the “Duck Curve”:

• • Lower cost than PV+batteries
  • Competitive with natural gas
  • Potential for 50% to 80% solar penetration with cost savings
  • Solar power in the morning, afternoon and night
  • Highly dispatchable:
    • rapid ramp at any scale: < 20 seconds zero to full power at 10 MW, 100 MW, 1 GW or more
    • distributed deployment can reduce or eliminate investment in grid upgrades
  • Grid stability services:
    • frequency control and stabilization
    • rapid response: < 1 second
    • high inertia: > 6 seconds
