Electronic symbol. In electrical engineering, a capacitor is a device that stores electrical energy by accumulating electric charges on two closely spaced surfaces that are insulated from each other. The capacitor was originally known as the condenser, [1] a term still encountered in a few compound names, such as the condenser microphone.

PV cells, or solar cells, generate electricity by absorbing sunlight and using the light energy to create an electrical current. The process of how PV cells work can be broken down into three basic steps: first, a PV cell absorbs light and knocks electrons loose. Then, an electric current is created by the loose-flowing electrons.

Energy storage is the capture of energy produced at one time for use at a later time to reduce imbalances between energy demand and energy production. A device that stores energy is generally called an accumulator or battery. Energy comes in multiple forms including radiation, chemical, gravitational potential, electrical potential, electricity, elevated temperature, latent heat and kinetic. Ene…
