Clean energy storage facts. Energy storage is critical to an efficient, clean electric grid. It enables us to produce clean energy when it''s abundant, store it, and send it back to the electricity grid when needed. Like other disruptive technologies, energy storage will revolutionize how we use electricity.
Most solar energy storage systems have a lifespan between 5 and 15 years. However, the actual lifespan depends on the technology, usage, and maintenance. Lithium-ion batteries generally have a longer lifespan (around 10-15 years), while lead-acid batteries may need replacement after 5-10 years (Dunlop, 2015).
