solar batteries
Photovoltaic energy cells
Solar batteries store electrical energy generated by solar panels for later use.
They allow homes and facilities to use solar power at night or during cloudy periods when panels aren't actively producing: The solar batteries kept the lights on through the outage.
Most modern solar batteries use lithium-ion technology, though older lead-acid types remain in use.
