However, the intermittent nature of solar energy results in a high dependence on weather conditions of solar cells. Integrated solar cell-energy storage systems that integrate solar cells and energy storage devices may solve this problem by storing the generated electricity and managing the energy output.
Innovation in energy conversion and storage will play a key role in this massive global shift. Over the last decade, developments in the solar cell industry have shown exactly what is possible when constantly advancing technology dovetails with political will.

By performing both light absorption and charge storage, bifunctional materials enable the most recent and highest level of material integration in solar batteries. To conclude, bifunctional materials are the most recent development in solar battery research.
Photovoltaic–thermal technology During the process of electricity generation using a solar cell, only a small fraction of received solar radiation is converted to electricity while a large portion of solar energy is getting dumped as heat. Every 1°C increase in the surface temperature of a PV cell causes a 0.5% decrease in efficiency , .
