PV Gap

Guy Said:

Explain why it would be necessary for a home using solar energy to have some type of an energy storage divice.

We Answered:

Because of night.

The sun sets and does not shine for part of the day, that's the primary reason. The secondary reason is because rainy and cloudy days may not provide enough sunlight.

When sun doesn't shine, the solar panel don't make electricity so the electricity has to be stored for the night or rainy days or it has to be hooked up to the power grid for those same periods.

On cloudy days, the panels make less electricity.
