Here''s how intermittent vs. firm renewable energy sources factor

Battery storage is an important piece of the energy puzzle because it adds stability to variable energy sources, like wind and solar. Traditionally, those resources only provided energy when the wind was blowing or the sun was out. Renewable energy usually falls into two camps: intermittent or firm.
