In recent years, solar photovoltaic technology has experienced significant advances in both materials and systems, leading to improvements in efficiency, cost, and energy storage capacity. These advances have made solar photovoltaic technology a more viable option for renewable energy generation and energy storage.
PV technology integrated with energy storage is necessary to store excess PV power generated for later use when required. Energy storage can help power networks withstand peaks in demand allowing transmission and distribution grids to operate efficiently.
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.
Solar energy storage: Imagine capturing sunlight like a solar sponge. Solar energy storage systems do just that. They use photovoltaic cells to soak up the sun’s rays and store that precious energy in batteries for later use. Whether it’s a bright summer’s day or a rainy afternoon, these systems ensure that clean, green power is always on tap.
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.
Photovoltaic energy sources are used as grid-connected systems and stand-alone systems. Their applications include battery charging, water pumping, home power supplies, refrigeration, street lighting, swimming pools, hybrid vehicles, heating systems, telecommunications, satellite power systems, military space, and hydrogen production [28, 29].
