This article overviews the main principles of storage of solar energy for its subsequent long-term consumption. The methods are separated into two groups: the thermal and photonic methods of energy conversion. The compari- cal and electrochemical reactions is given. arly along with the growt h of gross domestic produc t (GDP). about 2.0%.
Conceptually, the operating principle of a solar cell can be summarized as follows. Sunlight is absorbed in a material in which electrons can have two energy levels, one low and one high. When light is absorbed, electrons transit from the low-energy level to the high-energy level.
The storage of solar energy in suitable forms, form, is a present-day challenge to the technologists. It is compounds such as sugar. Despite slow accumulation of form of natural energy storage is of great importance. subsequent storage and use of this energy on demand. The energy conversion and storage.
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 solar cell (also known as a photovoltaic cell or PV cell) is defined as an electrical device that converts light energy into electrical energy through the photovoltaic effect. A solar cell is basically a p-n junction diode.
The operation of solar cells is intimately related to two kinds of particles, electrons and holes, known as the charge carriers of semiconductors. For the case of electrons, this does not come as a surprise since general knowledge identifies an electric (charge) current to the continuous flow of electrons.
