Thermal energy storage solar energy
Solar energy is an application of thermal energy storage. Most practical solar thermal storage systems provide storage from a few hours to a day's worth of energy. However, a growing number of facilities use seasonal thermal energy storage (STES), enabling solar energy to be stored in summer to heat space during winter. In 2017 in Alberta, Canada, achieved a year-round 97% solar heating fraction, a world record made possible by incorporating STES.

Kosovo solar thermal energy
Kosovo* is developing the Western Balkans' largest solar thermal district heating project, supplying 32,000 citizens with renewable heat while expanding its network with coal plant cogeneration. . The "Solar 4 Kosovo II" project is one of the largest energy projects in Kosovo. This will be one of the largest solar plants in Europe and the first in the region by capacity, which will utilize clean solar energy for heating energy production. The pre-qualification tender for a 44 MW collector field with seasonal storage in Pristina, Kosovo, ended on 11 April 2025. It informed the local community that agricultural and other activities weren't allowed anymore on the designated land. This expansion will be driven by the introduction of larger-scale ground-mounted solar parks, contributing to the country's goal of achieving 400 MW of solar capacity. . The heating sector in Kosovo* consumes more energy than any other segment of the energy sector. The district heating system, however, meets only around 25% of the demand.
