The latter is too often overlooked when it comes to integrated devices. Typically, in fact, solar cells rely on transparent but rigid solutions, while energy storage devices on flexible opaque housing (such as pouches).
Aside from that, modern society is now successfully consolidating electrochemical energy storage technologies, especially secondary (rechargeable) batteries (BATs) , , , , and supercapacitors (SCs, also known as electrochemical capacitors or ultracapacitors) , , , , .
This reduces the amount of electricity that homeowners are charged by the energy provider. Surplus solar energy can either be fed into the public grid, which is often being remunerated, or temporarily stored with the help of our hybrid inverter – to charge electric cars after sundown, for example.
It involves the independent life of the two main components involved, i.e. PV unit and energy storage unit, which are electrically connected by cables. Such systems are usually expensive, bulky and not flexible (both in terms of shape and architecture), also suffering energy loss through the connecting cables and control electronics.
This review has collected and discussed the latest developments in the field of integrated energy harvesting and storage devices. However, many points remain open that require further efforts and advances by the scientific community in order to allow this new class of hybrid devices to reach their commercialization.
Although several excellences in the field of PV and energy storage are present worldwide, both at academic and industrial levels, only a part of the scientific community has considered as a priority the integration of energy conversion (or generation) and storage devices in an appropriate, innovative and commercially attractive way.
