Yvonne Said:

can we store the electricity produced by solar cells using some device?

We Answered:

It's unfortunate that electricity is so difficult to store, batteries are notoriousy inefficient as are mechanical methods such as flywheels and compressed air, all of which has been used to load shift the grid to take advantage of off peak generation capacity. However, the most stable way to store energy is chemically and Sandia Labs did exactly that by synthesizing liquid hydrocarbons from CO2 and H2O with the use of a solar furnace. Even batteries are chemical energy storage devices, just inefficient ones.

It's quite conceivable that we will store solar energy as synthetic gasoline. This isn't as far a stretch as it first sounds, gasoline refined from fossil reserves are essentially solar energy stored by nature as hydrocarbons over millions of years.

i need help! I have a project to do on solar devices!?

Looks like someone wasted the whole summer instead of doing it early and not having to worry about it!
