2. Introduction
Combining conversion & storage on solar energy
(Solar energy @ night time with on-board solar storage)
 Some of the energy storage technologies, such as the
use of advanced batteries coupled with solar cells,
remain too expensive for larger mass use.
 This presentation will focus on promising solutions as
far as the combination of energy storage and solar
energy projects, exploring:
 onboard solar cell Energy Storage solutions (short-term
storage high-power, rechargeable battery storage as a
primary storage stage) as well as
 on-site long-term storage (Hydrogen and
Methanization).

(*) The world demand for power exceeds 15 TW, with the vast majority of that demand being met by the consumption of fossil fuels in the
form of oil (5.3 TW), coal (4.2 TW) and natural gas (3.5 TW). Currently, solar supplies only 0.004 TW and yet the earth receives in excess
120,000 TW of power from the sun each day, which means that the earths power demands could be met by covering 0.125 % of the earth’s
surface with solar cells with an efficiency of only 10%.

3. The Problem
 We lose every hour on Earth equivalent of our energy
needs for 1 year*
 Costs of PV based electricity production plants and storage
solutions are still too high to compete with fossil or nuclear
based power generators
 We need to support the population growth while securing
our energy independency by increasing the mix energetic
and reducing the CO2 emission.
 We also need to move quickly to auto-consumption
solutions in Europe and ROW

13. The Market
13
Global market for solar storage systems will be worth US$2
billion by 2018. Dr. Eicke Weber, head of the newly-established
German Energy Storage Association, has called
this a “conservative estimate”. Italian energy consultancy
BIP said the battery market will reach at least 9 GW of
capacity by 2020 from today's 270 MW (estimated to grow
to 40% of the PV systems installed by 2020).
