Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
Using Solar technologies, photovoltaic (PV) panels or mirrors that concentrate solar radiation convert sunlight into electricity. Solar power can be used to generate electricity and can be stored in batteries or thermal storage for future use. Most solar power is stored in lithium-ion, lead-acid, and flow batteries.
Batteries are commonly used for residential installations to store solar energy. A chemical reaction among the battery components stores the energy when solar energy is pumped into a battery. When the battery is discharged, the reaction is reversed, allowing the current to exit the battery.
