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 Drake Landing Solar Community in Alberta, Canada, achieved a year-round 97% solar heating fraction, a world record made possible by incorporatin
