The energy transition and the desire for greater independence from electricity suppliers are increasingly bringing photovoltaic systems and energy storage systems into focus. Photovoltaic systems convert sunlight into electricity that can be used directly in the household or fed into the public grid.
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.
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.
The integration of photovoltaics and energy storage is the key to a sustainable energy future. With falling costs and rising efficiency, these systems are becoming more accessible, paving the way for a cleaner, greener world. Adopting PV-storage systems today is a step toward energy independence and environmental stewardship.
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. Environmental Impact: This combination significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
