“This is Solana, the largest solar plant of its kind in the world, directly coupled to the biggest non-hydroelectric energy-storage system in the US. Opened in October 2013, it’s a zero-carbon power plant that could underpin the energy grid of the future.”

A Review on Borehole Seasonal Solar Thermal Energy Storage
http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1876610215002398
“Because of the intermittency and unreliability of solar radiation, a seasonal thermal energy storage system is needed to maximize the potential utilization of solar energy. Borehole seasonal solar thermal energy storage is one of the most common energy storage methods and some applications have been conducted.”
