Battery energy storage systems refer to a collection of devices that are capable of storing energy generated from RESs, such as wind and solar PV energy. These systems can then release the stored energy in an efficient manner to meet consumer demand, resulting in a stable electricity supply and potential cost savings.
PV cells, or solar cells, generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using the light energy to create an electrical current. The process of how PV cells work can be broken down into three basic steps: first, a PV cell absorbs light and knocks electrons loose. Then, an electric current is created by the loose-flowing electrons.
