For solar PV, short-term behind-the-meter energy storage in the form of batteries can be sufficient to increase the self-consumption of residential solar PV systems during the months when there is significant solar power generation..
The sand becomes a battery after it is heated up to 600C using electricity generated by wind turbines and solar panels in Finland, brought by Vatajankoski, the owners of the power plant..
Finnish researchers have installed the world's first fully working "sand battery" which can store green power for months at a time. The developers say this could solve the problem of year-round. .
The first commercial sand-based thermal energy storage system in the world has started operating in Finland, developed by Polar Night Energy. Polar Night Energy’s system, based on its patented technology, has gone online on the site of a power plant operated by utility Vatajankoski.

1. Helios Energy Finland. A name synonymous with Finnish solar power, Helios Energy Finland boasts a rich history and a comprehensive approach. They not only manufacture high-efficiency solar panels but also provide installation and maintenance services for residential and industrial clients.
[pdf] The PV capacity of Finland was (2012) 11.1 MWp. Solar power in Finland was (1993–1999) 1 GWh, (2000–2004) 2 GWh and (2005) 3 GWh. There has been at least one demonstration project by the YIT Rakennus, NAPS Systems, Lumon and City of Helsinki in 2003. Finland is a member in the IEA's Photovoltaic Power Systems Programme but not in the Scandinavian Photovoltaic Industry Association, SPIA.
