It\u2019s coarse, it&#8217;s rough, and it can make for a great sand battery. And as weird as that might sound, it\u2019s just one example of the many earthy materials currently used for thermal energy storage (or TES). A while back, we covered the debut of the world\u2019s first commercial sand battery, which is big enough to supply power for about 10,000 people. Now, sand-based energy storage has reached a new frontier: individual homes. Companies like Batsand are currently offering heat batteries that bring hot and fresh sand directly to your door. Seems you can get just about anything delivered these days.<\/p>\n<p>But what\u2019s stopped us from experimenting with residential TES before? How will heat storage impact our lives in our homes? And where exactly are homeowners supposed to put this stuff?<\/p>\n<p>Watch Have we been doing Solar wrong all along? <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/LqizLQDi9BM?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi4dFnLD9622FK77atWtQVv7<br\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/LqizLQDi9BM?list=PLnTSM-ORSgi4dFnLD9622FK77atWtQVv7<br<\/a> \/><br \/>Video script and citations:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/how-a-sand-battery-could-revolutionize-home-energy-storage\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/how-a-sand-battery-could-revolutionize-home-energy-storage\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Corrections:<br \/>06:19 &#8211; Image should read kWh, not kW\/h<\/p>\n<p>Get my achieve energy security with solar guide: <br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/solar-guide\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/solar-guide<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Follow-up podcast:<br \/>Video version &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/channel\/UC4-aWB84Bupf5hxGqrwYqLA<\/a><br \/>Audio version &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/stilltbdfm\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/stilltbdfm<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join the Undecided Discord server:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/discord\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/discord<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc4b Support Undecided on Patreon!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/mattferrell<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2699\ufe0f Gear &#038; Products I Like<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/shop\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\/shop\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p> Visit my Energysage Portal (US):<br \/>Research solar panels and get quotes for free!<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/energysage\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/energysage<\/a><\/p>\n<p>And find heat pump installers near you (US):<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/energysage-heatpumps\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/energysage-heatpumps<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Or find community solar near you (US):<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/community-solar\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/link.undecidedmf.com\/community-solar<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For a curated solar buying experience (Canada)<br \/>EnergyPal&#8217;s free personalized quotes:<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/energypal.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/energypal.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Tesla Referral Code:<br \/>Get 1,000 free supercharging miles <br \/>or a discount on Tesla Solar &#038; Powerwalls<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/ts.la\/matthew84515\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/ts.la\/matthew84515<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Follow Me<br \/>Mastodon<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@<\/a>mattferrell<\/p>\n<p>X<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/mattferrell<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/undecidedMF\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/twitter.com\/undecidedMF<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mastodon<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/mastodon.social\/@<\/a>mattferrell<\/p>\n<p>Instagram<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattferrell\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/mattferrell<\/a><br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/undecidedmf\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/undecidedmf<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Facebook<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/undecidedMF\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/undecidedMF\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Website<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/undecidedmf.com\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/undecidedmf.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udcfa YouTube Tools I Recommend<br \/>Audio file(s) provided by Epidemic Sound<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/UndecidedEpidemic\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/UndecidedEpidemic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>TubeBuddy<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.tubebuddy.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>VidIQ<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/vidiq.com\/undecided\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/vidiq.com\/undecided<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I may earn a small commission for my endorsement or recommendation to products or services linked above, but I wouldn&#8217;t put them here if I didn&#8217;t like them.
