1. Introduction to Photovoltaics and Energy Storage Photovoltaics (PV) refers to the technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels. Energy storage systems, on the other hand, store excess energy for later use, addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources like solar power.
This review paper provides the first detailed breakdown of all types of energy storage systems that can be integrated with PV encompassing electrical and thermal energy storage systems.
Efficient Energy Use: Solar power is most abundant during the day, but demand often peaks at night. Storage systems help store excess energy generated during the day for nighttime use. Grid Stability: By reducing reliance on traditional power plants, PV-storage systems contribute to a more stable and resilient energy grid.
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.
