Solar energy systems primarily rely on photovoltaic cells made from materials such as silicon, cadmium telluride, and perovskites. . Sometimes energy storage is co-located with, or placed next to, a solar energy system, and sometimes the storage system stands alone, but in either configuration, it can help more effectively integrate solar into the energy landscape. For instance, the Solar Star project in. . chnologies (solar+storage). The guide is organized aro nd 12 topic area questions. Using solar energy can have a positive, indirect effect on the environment when solar energy replaces or reduces the use of other energy sources that have larger effects on the environment.
