Which consequence results when a thermal storage tank's insulation fails during off-peak energy transition?

💡 Explanation

Increased parasitic heat losses occur because inadequate insulation causes greater thermal energy transfer to the environment through conduction, convection, and radiation rather than maintaining the tank's temperature for later use; therefore, energy savings fail, rather than gradients reversing or stratification becoming negligible.
