For the utilization of solar energy, first it needs to be collected with the help of a solar collector, then it may be directly converted into electricity (through a solar panel), or it may be absorbed by the heat transfer fluid (HTF) flowing through the solar collector system and then transferred to any application. The commonly used HTFs are water, ethylene glycol, synthetic
Photovoltaics convert photons into electrons to get electrical energy, while in solar thermal applications, the photons are absorbed and their energy is converted into tangible heat [9]. This heat is used to heat a working fluid that can be directly collected and used for space and water heating [10].
The most common type of energy storage in the power grid is pumped hydropower. But the storage technologies most frequently coupled with solar power plants are electrochemical storage (batteries) with PV plants and thermal storage (fluids) with CSP plants.
