Recent technological advances make solar photovoltaic energy generation and storage sustainable. The intermittent nature of solar energy limits its use, making energy storage systems are the best alternative for power generation. Energy storage system choice depends on electricity producing technology.
Ultimately, residential and commercial solar customers, and utilities and large-scale solar operators alike, can benefit from solar-plus-storage systems. As research continues and the costs of solar energy and storage come down, solar and storage solutions will become more accessible to all Americans.
Energy storage system choice depends on electricity producing technology. The quest for sustainable energy and long-term solutions has spurred research into innovative solar photovoltaic materials. Researchers want to boost solar cell efficiency by developing new materials that turn sunlight into electricity.
Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn’t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid. These variations are attributable to changes in the amount of sunlight that shines onto photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems.
Coupling solar energy and storage technologies is one such case. The reason: Solar energy is not always produced at the time energy is needed most. Peak power usage often occurs on summer afternoons and evenings, when solar energy generation is falling.
