I have seen many stories about large solar panel installations but I have not seen very many stories about energy storage systems. Solar energy is dependent on weather, season, and time of day so energy needs to be stored for when there is less to no sunlight. I know Tesla has done several large battery installations but has anyone seen any other stories?

  I know there are ways to store renewable energy. I am asking about specific energy storage sites being built. Generally speaking, linking to search results is condescending and not an answer.

Trade publications like Greentech Media and PV Magazine are currently the best option if you want to keep up with electricity storage news. As the storage market matures somebody will probably launch storage-specific publications, just like solar and wind already have their own specific trade publications.
