Storage helps solar contribute to the electricity supply even when the sun isn''t shining. It can also help smooth out variations in how solar energy flows on the grid. These variations are attributable to changes in the amount of sunlight that shines onto photovoltaic (PV) panels or concentrating solar-thermal power (CSP) systems.
Solar Energy Conversion refers to the process of transforming solar energy into electricity through the use of photovoltaic devices and wind turbines. This electricity is utilized to power various systems such as desalination units, pumps, and control devices, as well as to provide electricity to the site.
