2. Solar energy is a time dependent and intermittent energy resource. In general energy needs or demands for a very wide variety of applications are also time dependent, but in an entirely different manner from the solar energy supply. There is thus a marked need for the storage of energy or another product of the solar process, if the solar energy is to meet the
