Brian Rodgers,

Please share pics and detail of your good friend...it might give me some clues...Thanks in anticipation...

Stephen Iowe,

I have considered this option and have worked with detail...but all goes in vain when i found that large tanks will be needed to run this system work...I live in a house 25ft x 45ft with a maximum height of 45ft...Space is an issue and you cannot cross the boundaries in this well managed housing society...

Thanks Jeremy

Frank li,

Thanks for you suggestion but unfortunately i live in an area which has moderate climate throughout the year...i am from pakistan...where it is a great potential for solar...however in my area warm water is not a necessity...we need it only in two month...i.e. Dec & Jan...

Eric
I highly appreciate your response and concerns regarding energy losses...but still figuring how to utilize this energy...a storage cum electricity generation system with an efficiency of 30% will also be feasible since part of the energy that will be stored is in excess amount...if i dont' store it, it is a waste...

Thanks again for your valuable comments and suggestions...

Dear All,
Please suggest me some tips for Excess Solar Energy Storage:
I have installed Solar Power system at my home which has the following details:
PV Modules Installed capacity= 2.160KW (08modules with 270Watt/panel)
Off/On grid Inverter (Has multiple functions including Net-metering option) = 3.5KW
Deep Cycle Batteries= 04 (120Amp each)
Average Energy consumption (Load) = 15KWH (60% of this is used at night-from Grid)
Net-metering option is not available in our area. What I am asking here, Can I store excess Solar Energy as compressed air during the day time and use it at night?
What will be the compressor specifications/type for providing 9KWH during night hours?
How it can be coupled with an A.C. generator?
Is there any system already in market that meets my set-up demand?
Batteries cost is higher if we take into consideration the replacement within 20 years(approximately 05-06 times)
