Solar thermal energy (STE) is a form of energy and a for harnessing to generate for use in , and in the residential and commercial sectors. are classified by the United States as low-, medium-, or high-temperature collectors. Low-temperature collectors are generally unglazed and used to heat

Where temperatures below about 95 °C (200 °F) are sufficient, as for space heating, flat-plate collectors of the nonconcentrating type are generally used. Because of the relatively high heat losses through the glazing, flat plate collectors will not reach temperatures much above 200 °C (400 °F) even when the heat transfer fluid is stagnant. Such temperatures are too low for

Electricity can be stored directly for a short time in capacitors, somewhat longer electrochemically in , and much longer chemically (e.g. hydrogen), mechanically (e.g. pumped hydropower) or as heat. The first pumped hydroelectricity was constructed at the end of the 19th century around in Italy, Austria, and Switzerland. The technique rapidly expanded during the 196.

Any must match electricity production to consumption, both of which vary significantly over time. Energy derived from and varies with the weather on time scales ranging from less than a second to weeks or longer. is less flexible than , meaning it cannot easily match the variations in demand. Thus, without storage presents special challenges to .

This, dear reader, is the solar storage conundrum, a puzzle more intriguing than a Rubik's Cube at a Mensa convention. Solar energy, as clean as a whistle and as abundant as grains of sand on a beach, is not without its Achilles' heel – its fleeting nature. As the sun plays hide and seek, we find.
