Solar energy ranches can offer second life for electric vehicle batteries
As electrical vehicles swiftly grow in popularity worldwide, there will certainly soon be a wave of used batteries whose performance is no more sufficient for vehicles that need reliable velocity and array. But a new research shows that these batteries could still have a beneficial and also rewarding second life as backup storage space for grid-scale solar photovoltaic or pv setups, where they might carry out for greater than a decade in this much less requiring function.
