Good news: thermal storage is available to consumers! It costs about $30 per kWh, as compared to a minimum of $400 per kWh for batteries. And where batteries had a round-trip efficiency of about 80%, thermal energy storage has an efficiency closer to 99%. These impressive numbers make thermal storage an attractive alternative to batteries.
