The ability to store excess energy generated by solar panels is a critical factor in realizing the full potential of solar power systems. This comprehensive guide delves into the world of solar energy storage, exploring the mechanisms behind solar battery systems and their role in shaping a more reliable and efficient energy future.
Solar energy can be stored primarily in two ways: thermal storage and battery storage. Thermal storage involves capturing and storing the sun’s heat, while battery storage involves storing power generated by solar panels in batteries for later use. These methods enable the use of solar energy even when the sun is not shining.
In regions with net metering policies, solar energy storage can also enhance the economic viability of solar power systems. Excess energy generated by solar panels can be stored in batteries and used later, reducing the need to export surplus energy back to the grid.
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.
The integration of PV and energy storage in smart buildings and outlines the role of energy storage for PV in the context of future energy storage options. The authors would like to acknowledge the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No. 657466 (INPATH-TES) and the ERC starter grant No. 639760.
The potential and the role of energy storage for PV and future energy development Incentives from supporting policies, such as feed-in-tariff and net-metering, will gradually phase out with rapid increase installation decreasing cost of PV modules and the PV intermittency problem.
