Even if added later, storage should not be overlooked in the design and building phase when co-locating with solar PV, write Grant Reasor, Joshua Tucker and Dan Rollins Burns & McDonnell.
Located in the solar hotbed region of Atacama in northern Chile, the Domeyko project will have an 83MW solar PV capacity and 660MWh battery energy storage system (BESS) capacity.
