As the energy landscape evolves, hybrid solar and wind projects with integrated battery storage are becoming the new standard rather than the exception. Industry analysts estimate that by 2030, more than half of new renewable projects will include some form of energy storage.
As the global energy sector transitions to cleaner sources, a major shift is taking place in how solar and wind power are deployed. Increasingly, new solar and wind projects are being paired with Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS), a development that is helping to overcome one of the biggest challenges facing renewable energy—intermittency.
Solar and wind facilities use the energy stored in batteries to reduce power fluctuations and increase reliability to deliver on-demand power. Battery storage systems bank excess energy when demand is low and release it when demand is high, to ensure a steady supply of energy to millions of homes and businesses.
Co-locating energy storage with a wind power plant allows the uncertain, time-varying electric power output from wind turbines to be smoothed out, enabling reliable, dispatchable energy for local loads to the local microgrid or the larger grid.
He added that Penang Port is exploring the possibility of setting up solar panels on stilts on shallow water pockets in its premises, “like a solar farm”. On the other hand, he said the global cruise business is expected to “go fully shore-power” by 2030.
The Penang government is assessing several strategic locations, including dams and coastal water bodies, to implement floating solar projects as part of efforts to strengthen its Renewable Energy (RE) sources. — NSTP/GHAZALI KORI Get breaking news fast — follow us on WhatsApp and Telegram.
He said that land-based solar farms were not ideal for Penang due to the scarcity and high value of available land. Therefore, he said, installing solar panels on water surfaces was seen as a more practical alternative. "Floating solar is a real possibility for Penang because we are surrounded by water.
The Star has learnt that this entails creating a solar farm that floats on a sheltered quarter of Penang’s harbour stretching over 4ha, the size of three World Cup football fields. On a sunny day, it is expected to churn out 30 megawatts of electricity, which theoretically will be enough for 6,000 homes.

A Bit of Upkeep Goes a Long Way: Store them properly, check in on them occasionally, and you’ll get years of steady performance—whether for solar, RV, marine, or backup use. Ionic deep cycle batteries routinely last 10+ years. What is a LiFePO4 Battery? A LiFePO4 battery is a rechargeable battery made with lithium iron phosphate.
Most lithium-iron phosphate batteries are rated for 2,000 to 5,000 charge cycles. That kind of cycle life makes a big difference for anyone relying on consistent, long-term energy storage—whether it’s in an RV, solar setup, boat, or home backup system.
One of the biggest reasons people switch to lithium iron phosphate batteries (LiFePO4) is battery life. While lead acid batteries and AGM options often need replacing every 3 to 5 years, quality LiFePO4 batteries can last up to 10 years or more with proper use and storage.
Daily use and regular charging help maintain the battery’s chemistry, while letting it sit unused for too long can lead to self-discharge and reduce battery health over time. For example, a 100Ah lithium battery running a 100-watt device could last about 11 to 12 hours on a full charge.
