Energy storage systems absorb excess generation when output is high and dispatch that stored power when generation dips, smoothing out supply fluctuations. This load-shifting capability also manages peak demand, which traditionally required utilities to activate expensive .

This reality has prompted the Bolivian government and its partners to embrace a more practical solution: decentralized solar power. This article makes the business case for establishing a solar module factory in Bolivia to supply this growing and predictable domestic.
