“…A study by [116] proposed two designs of an energy storage system with PV solar cells to investigate the effects of mismatch between solar generation and demand profiles. They found that the PV generation strategy (PVGS) whereby the energy storage system is charged completely based on the total amount of PV-generated power could provide technical benefits to the system and is more cost-effective.…”

Hybrid systems have gained significant attention among researchers and scientists worldwide due to their ability to integrate solar cells and supercapacitors. Subsequently, this has led to rising demands for green energy, miniaturization and mini-electronic wearable devices. These hybrid devices will lead to sustainable energy becoming viable and fossil-fuel-based sources of energy gradually being replaced. A solar photovoltaic (SPV) system is an electronic device that mainly functions to convert photon energy to electrical energy using a solar power source. It has been widely used in developed countries given that they have advanced photovoltaic (PV) technology that reduces dependence on fossil fuels for energy generation. Furthermore, a supercapacitor is an alternative solution for replacing heavy batteries and it is a system with a prominent high power density and a long life cycle. Its unique properties of high capacitance with low voltage limits lead to this highly in-demand material being incorporated into goods and services that are produced by the electrical and electronics industries. It is another option for grid-based power or large batteries. Since supercapacitors have the ability to store huge amounts of energy, they allow for a novel system that integrates supercapacitors with solar cells in which energy generation and energy storage are combined into one system. This paper explores the common materials that are used for solar cells and supercapacitors, the working mechanisms, the effectiveness of the integrated device and the technical challenges that are encountered when refining this device. Hence, this review serves as a guide for choosing the right materials and methods in order to produce an integrated PV solar cell–energy storage device for various applications.

“…Besides that, ESS can also be utilized to support the essential supply of electricity immediately when a blackout happens [26], [27]. Besides, the characteristics of the ESSs, which are able to optimize the output from renewable sources, have driven the application of ESSs with renewable energy to solve the power shortage problem [28]- [30]. The reliability of the power supply is improved by utilizing solar and wind power generation integrated with batteries [26], [31].…”

Recent years have witnessed the increasing uptake of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations, ranging from a few kilowatts for residential rooftops to a few megawatts for large-scale solar farms. One of the key challenges for the solar PV systems is its dependency on the solar energy, which is intermittent in nature and highly unpredictable. In this regard, battery energy storage system (BESS) is regarded as the effective solution that can smoothen the output power fluctuation from the solar PV system. Hence, this work utilized BESS that had fast response time with high power and energy density to reduce the solar output fluctuations from a real grid-connected solar system installed at the campus rooftop. The characteristic of the PV power fluctuation and the BESS storage requirement to smooth out the fluctuation within the allowable limit were determined and analyzed. More importantly, actual solar irradiance data with an interval of one minute was utilized in this work. The findings suggest that BESS with 66% of the installed solar capacity and 21% of the average daily solar generation of the installed system are required to smoothen the solar fluctuation that exceeds the ramp rate limit of 10%/min.

Graphitic carbon nitride, (g-CN/g-C3N4), an oldest material, was extensively used as photocatalyst due to high charge separation and transportation property, tunable band gap, and non-toxicity. Recently, g-CN has been utilized as an electron transport layer, interfacial buffer layer, and for passivation of perovskite layers in solar cell devices. Power conversion efficiency of g-CN-based solar cells has gone beyond 22.13% with device stability of more than 1500 h in dark. Additionally, the enhanced environmental stability of solar cell devices is due to the unique packed two-dimensional (2D) structure of g-CN, which provides protection to the devices against environmental degradation. However, availability of the limited synthesis methods and g-CN thin film formation with varying properties and high surface area, are two major concerns which needs to be further improved. This review covers the different methods of g-CN nanostructure synthesis, thin film formation, and their application in photovoltaic (PV) devices. The potential challenges and perspective of g-CN nanomaterials for solar cells are also included in this review.
