A photovoltaic/thermal (PV/T) system converts solar radiation into electrical and thermal energy. The incorporation of thermal collectors with PV technology can increase the overall efficiency of a PV system as thermal energy is produced as a by-product of the production of electrical energy.
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.
For photovoltaic (PV) systems to become fully integrated into networks, efficient and cost-effective energy storage systems must be utilized together with intelligent demand side management.
The solar energy from the solar field can be potentially stored as chemical energy, through the endothermic fuel oxidation reaction in a chemical process. Thermochemical systems commonly require higher temperatures to initiate the energy storage, but conversely provide higher temperatures on the release of that energy.
