However, the intermittent nature of solar energy results in a high dependence on weather conditions of solar cells. Integrated solar cell-energy storage systems that integrate solar cells and energy storage devices may solve this problem by storing the generated electricity and managing the energy output.
Currently, solar cells are considered as the individual devices for energy conversion, while a series connection with an energy storage device would largely undermine the energy utilization efficiency and peak power output of the entire system.

As mentioned before, there is a natural mismatch between solar cells and storage devices. Even if in theory the voltages of both of them are comparable, the system efficiency can be improved by incorporating power electronics units in order to control the storage charging and discharging process.
The two-electrode mode is the most integrated of the approaches because the rear electrode of the solar cell is shared with the SC while reducing materials and increasing the energy density of the device. However, when combining a DSSC and an SC in a two-electrode configuration, 17 the device presented particular issues.
The overall efficiency of integrated energy conversion–storage systems refers to the conversion efficiency of PSCs and storage efficiency of the batteries. The storage efficiency was determined by the electrode and electrolyte, and therefore it is important to choose a reliable electrochemical system in the integrated devices.

3. The need for energy storage of some kind is almost immediate evident for a solar electric system. An optimally designed solar-electric system will collect and convert when the insolation is available during the day. Unfortunately the time when solar energy is most available will rarely coincide exactly with the demand for electrical energy, though both tend to peak …
A solar cell, also known as a photovoltaic cell (PV cell), is an electronic device that converts the energy of light directly into electricity by means of the photovoltaic effect.
