Over the past years, several review papers have explored the combination of solar cells and energy storage in one single component like Xu et al, 5 indicating the features of the proposed approaches for particular applications.
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.
1. The PV array: Its function is the conversion of solar radiation into electricity. It is the major unit in the system. 2. Battery storage: To be available at the absence of the solar radiation, the electric energy produced by the array must be partly stored, normally using batteries. So, the second main unit is the battery storage. 3.
The Solar Cell Array The array is composed of solar modules connected according to certain configuration to satisfy the voltage, the current, and the power requirement. If the array voltage is Va, the array current is Ia, and the array power is Pa, one can determine the number of the modules required and their circuit configuration.
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.
A notable fact when integrating solar cells and energy storage devices is the mismatch between them, 8 for example, a battery with a capacity much more higher than what the PV cell can provide per charging cycle.
