Batteries consist of two electrical terminals called the cathode and the anode, separated by a chemical material called an electrolyte. To accept and release energy, a battery is coupled to an external circuit. Electrons move through the circuit, while simultaneously ions (atoms or molecules with an electric charge) move through the electrolyte.

Solar energy can be stored primarily in two ways: thermal storage and battery storage. Thermal storage involves capturing and storing the sun’s heat, while battery storage involves storing power generated by solar panels in batteries for later use. These methods enable the use of solar energy even when the sun is not shining.
