TU Munich, Max Planck Society establish German solar battery research center
The facility, in Garching, near Munich, will research technology that combines solar cells and batteries in a single component and can chemically store solar energy directly. Researchers expect high efficiency and fast charging and discharging processes to result. The solar batteries examined can also be used off grid.

Storing solar energy as heat in synthetic molecules for future energy storage systems
German researchers are testing lab-made molecules designed to absorb, store, and release solar energy on demand, acting as 'heat batteries'. The researchers say their method is more efficient at storing solar energy compared to conventional thermal heat storage systems.
