Since solar power is not controllable, the generation can only be shifted through energy storage systems (ESS). Thermal ESS has been shown effective for both short-term [11] and seasonal [12] shifting. However, the application of thermal ESS requires compatible HVAC systems and desirable climate conditions [13].
