Abstract- The use of more renewable energy sources like solar and wind is making it clear that we need better ways to store energy in a sustainable and efficient way. While traditional batteries are commonly used, they have some big problems, such as being expensive, harmful to the environment, breaking down over time, and not lasting very long. This paper suggests a new energy storage method called Soil Gravity Battery Technology (SGBT), which uses gravity to store energy in a more eco-friendly way. The system works by using renewable energy, especially solar power, to lift a heavy mass. When energy is needed, the mass is let down in a controlled way, and a generator turns the gravitational energy into electricity.
In this setup, the soil acts as a natural support, helping to spread out the weight, reduce shaking, and keep the structure strong.
The system includes a solar panel, a DC motor, a pulley or winch system, the mass being lifted, a generator, and a monitoring unit that uses NodeMCU and ThingSpeak to track voltage and analyze the system in real time. This technology has many benefits, like a long life, less harm to the environment, low maintenance needs, and is good for storing energy in remote or rural areas without a power grid. The research shows that using gravity with soil as support can be a cheaper and greener option compared to regular batteries.
