Solar Energy Storage System

Solar energy can be stored and used later for producing electricity even if the sunsets. Solar systems capture solar energy in the form of heat which can later be stored in molten salts, water, and other fluids.

Although the price is not specific yes the solar energy system is not cheap and depends on the technology along with battery storage capacity which helps in saving energy and using it even after sunset.

The electricity which is generated by solar cells or by the steam turbines during sunlight can be stored with help of the batteries or by supercapacitors, where due to the separation of negative and positive charges energy is stored in the electric field. 

If you want to save more energy and make some money then you can for sure use solar batteries. As your solar system is connected with a power grid where you can get paid by the government for extra production. Solar batteries help you in producing more electricity which is enough to run your entire house and can even get supplied to the power grid. 

• It helps in balancing the load of electricity, if there is no storage then in such scenario the electricity will be generated and consumed simultaneously. 

• With help of the short-term storage, the quick production changes will not create any impact on the output of solar power plants. 

• In case of the solar disruption the storage can immediately provide power backup. 

There are various types of solar energy storage devices like:

• Electrochemical storage: The electricity is stored in the electrochemical batteries which are mostly found in mobiles and laptops. 
• Pumped storage hydropower: This storage technology is based on water. Here, the electrical energy is used for pumping water in reservoirs. 
• Solar fuels: The solar energy can also be utilized for creating new fuels that can be consumed for providing energy.

The components are as follows:

• Hybrid inverter
• Battery management system
• Batteries

These are used for supplying solar energy and storing it in the battery for later use.
