Can solar energy be stored and transported?

Can solar energy be stored for future use? Yes, in residential photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar energy can be stored in battery packs for future use. Today, most solar energy is stored in lithium-ion batteries, lead-acid batteries and liquid flow batteries.

Solar energy storage is divided into three categories: battery, thermal energy and machinery

Battery storage

Battery stored household devices are the most common way to store energy. When solar energy is injected into the cell, the chemical reaction between the cell components will store the energy. When the battery is discharged, the reaction reverses and the current in the battery is allowed to flow out. Lithium ion batteries are often used in solar applications.

thermal storage

Thermal energy storage uses a variety of media to absorb and retain heat from solar energy. The heated medium is stored in the insulating tank and generates energy when energy is needed, usually by boiling water.

Mechanical storage

Mechanical energy storage is to use the potential energy of objects to generate electricity. Convert the surplus electric energy into mechanical energy, and then convert the mechanical energy into electrical energy for use when necessary.
