There are numerous conceivable solar cell and storage device combinations. Nonetheless, the power must be kept in reserve to offset the sun’s variable availability and the actual energy demand. This issue might be resolved by photo-rechargeable electric energy storage systems, which can store generated electricity right away.
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.
As mentioned before, there is a natural mismatch between solar cells and storage devices. Even if in theory the voltages of both of them are comparable, the system efficiency can be improved by incorporating power electronics units in order to control the storage charging and discharging process.
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.
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.
If the voltage provided by the solar cell is enough to activate the electrochemical charging process inside the battery, the electrons from the solar cell move to the battery's anode, where they recombine with the cations released by the cathode.
