1. Introduction to Photovoltaics and Energy Storage Photovoltaics (PV) refers to the technology that converts sunlight directly into electricity using solar panels. Energy storage systems, on the other hand, store excess energy for later use, addressing the intermittent nature of renewable energy sources like solar power.
Storage systems help store excess energy generated during the day for nighttime use. Grid Stability: By reducing reliance on traditional power plants, PV-storage systems contribute to a more stable and resilient energy grid. Environmental Impact: This combination significantly reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
Importance of Combining PV and Energy Storage Combining PV and energy storage is vital for maximizing the utility of solar energy: Efficient Energy Use: Solar power is most abundant during the day, but demand often peaks at night. Storage systems help store excess energy generated during the day for nighttime use.
