However, the intermittent nature of solar energy results in a high dependence on weather conditions of solar cells. Integrated solar cell-energy storage systems that integrate solar cells and energy storage devices may solve this problem by storing the generated electricity and managing the energy output.
In regions with net metering policies, solar energy storage can also enhance the economic viability of solar power systems. Excess energy generated by solar panels can be stored in batteries and used later, reducing the need to export surplus energy back to the grid.
Under the existence of intermittent solar resource, electrical energy storage (EES) can continue to maintain the stability of the power grid in an effective and economically feasible manner.
This review paper sets out the range of energy storage options for photovoltaics including both electrical and thermal energy storage systems. The integration of PV and energy storage in smart buildings and outlines the role of energy storage for PV in the context of future energy storage options.
Storing this surplus energy is essential to getting the most out of any solar panel system, and can result in cost-savings, more efficient energy grids, and decreased fossil fuel emissions. Solar energy storage has a few main benefits: Balancing electric loads. If electricity isn’t stored, it has to be used at the moment it’s generated.
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.
