As lithium-ion batteries proliferated for grid storage, a small contingent of entrepreneurs pitched an alternative technology: thermal storage, which pre-heats or -cools a building to cut electrical usage during expensive peak hours. The technology is simple and cheap and has helped large commercial buildings for years.
