Nowadays, energy storage technologies play a crucial role in optimizing solar energy utilization and addressing supply-demand imbalances. This study focuses on the energy storage potential and technologies in Türkiye and Azerbaijan, specifically examining mechanical methods for solar energy storage, such as Pumped Hydro Storage (PHS), Compressed Air Energy Storage (CAES), and Flywheel Energy Storage (FES). Both countries possess substantial renewable energy resources, including solar and wind. However, the integration of energy storage systems is necessary to maximize solar energy effectively. Türkiye has shown significant progress with a strong regulatory framework supporting energy storage investments, demonstrating its commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2053. In contrast, Azerbaijan prioritizes solar energy growth through international partnerships and national policies, such as the Law on Efficient Use of Energy Resources and Energy Efficiency. By comparing the efficiencies, costs, and environmental impacts of mechanical storage technologies, this study provides insights for optimizing solar energy deployment in these nations.
