The only constraint is that the average power from the solar cell > average load power = load power x duty cycle /efficiency of supercapacitor charger. The supercapacitor charger is also sized for the average load power, not the peak, so a smaller, lower-cost charger can be used.
Depending on the light level, whether indoors or out, small solar cells may deliver sub mW to 10’s of mW. The peak application power may range from ~50mW for Bluetooth to ~7W for cellular transmission. So the problem becomes how to power wireless transmission, which requires higher power, from a low-power source.
The supercapacitor need only be sized for the energy and power to support the peak load burst. An outdoor solar cell for higher power applications which must run when there is no light, such as overnight and reports by SMS using GPRS. In this case the supercapacitor is sized for energy storage over the dark period as well as for the peak load.
Therefore, in order to achieve low cost and predominant charge storage capacity, the focus should not only limited to synthesis, fabrication and modification approaches, but also on enhancing the electrode-substrate compatibility, controlling the size, phase of the material, morphology, pore size and inorganic-organic hybridization strategy.
When you connect the solar battery to the electrical grid for charging, you are not utilizing the renewable energy supplied by solar panels. It is possible for solar batteries to be charged with electricity, but charging batteries with grid electricity is not the preferred method due to the following reasons.
Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case. The reason: Solar energy is not always produced at the time energy is needed most. Peak power usage often occurs on summer afternoons and evenings, when solar energy generation is falling.
The presented analysis shows that by adding a small low cost energy storage (supercapacitor) to the system, self-consumption can be enhanced very easily by at least two-fold, which gives a very high benefit to the customer as well as to the grid system.
