        abstract = {In this work, the use of gravity battery for the purpose of alternative energy storage for residential and tall buildings has been explored, keeping in view the disadvantages of traditional lithium-ion batteries. The energy storage principle is based on lifting a mass by the help of electricity, along with the assistance of solar power, and then releasing the energy upon the descent of the mass. A small-scale prototype has been developed, and its components include mechanical components such as the gear, cable and drum, and the truss structure, along with the electrical components. Experimental analysis was performed by measuring the parameters during operation. The efficiency of the system was between 48% and 51%. This shows the successful recovery of energy while also indicating the loss of efficiency due to friction, mechanical losses, and non-optimized component efficiencies. This is comparable to the results of similar studies, where efficiencies were in a range of 50% and 75%. The structural analysis verified the safety of the structure under loading conditions. Although gravity batteries have lower energy density, they provide benefits like long life, minimal environmental impact, and scalability, making them a promising solution for sustainable energy storage.},
