Solar energy storage and applications with Examples

Solar Power storage and usage system

It is radiant light  from the Sun that is harnessed using a range of ever-evolving technologies such as solar heating, photovoltaics, solar thermal energy, solar architecture, molten salt power plants and artificial photosynthesis.

Do solar panels store energy for night use (Application)

(i) The heating and cooling of residential and commercial buildings;

(ii) The chemical and biological conversion of organic material to liquid, solid and gaseous fuels; and

(iii) Conversion of solar energy to electricity

The use of solar energy for generation of electricity is costly as compared to conventional methods. However, due to scarcity of fuel, solar energy will certainly find a place in planning the national energy resources.
