A gravity battery is a type of energy storage device that stores gravitational energy—the potential energy given to an object when it is raised against the force of gravity. In a common application, when renewable energy sources such as wind and solar provide more energy than is immediately required, the excess energy is used to move a mass upward against the force of gravity to generate gravitational potential energy. When customers eventually requir
Gravity energy solutions rely purely on mechanical movement converted to electrical energy, so suffer no chemical degradation. Power generation is instantaneous,
