There are numerous conceivable solar cell and storage device combinations. Nonetheless, the power must be kept in reserve to offset the sun’s variable availability and the actual energy demand. This issue might be resolved by photo-rechargeable electric energy storage systems, which can store generated electricity right away.
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.
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.
The integrated system achieved an overall solar energy conversion and storage efficiency of 14.5%. Later on, the same group used DC-DC converter to elevate the low-voltage PV voltage to over 300 V and charged the high-voltage NiMH battery pack, resulting in an integrated system with a high solar to battery energy storage efficiency.
The hybrid devices exhibited a high energy storage efficiency (10%) and output voltage of 1.45 V, with low interruptions in the cycles. However, active area mismatch between the supercapacitors and solar cells would result in a long charging time (300 s).
The cost and optimisation of PV can be reduced with the integration of load management and energy storage systems. This review paper sets out the range of energy storage options for photovoltaics including both electrical and thermal energy storage systems.

This should reduce your energy bills – and your carbon footprint. For example, if you''re not at home during the day to use the energy your solar panels are generating, having a battery will enable you to store (and later use) energy from your solar panels. A solar battery means you can take advantage of cheaper electricity.
Despite excellent photovoltaic power conversion efficiencies of dye-sensitized solar cells, they are short of storage capability.
