Your question is a bit strange.

Solar energy can be stored in many ways - an underappreciated way of storing solar power is in the form of vegetables. Another is in batteries. Algae is another possibility. A very long term way of storing solar power is by converting it into organic materials (trees, sheeps, and whatevs), crushing them under immense pressure and heat, leave them for a few hundred thousand years, after which you dig them up and use them as a fuel source. So in other words, fossil fuel is actually a roundabout way of using solar power.

How do solar power stations work?

Solar power stations work by using a series of solar cells to convert energy from the Sun into electricity. It is then stored in batteries or transferred to the power grid.


In solar power plants the power is directly transmitted through converter or firstly it is stored in a battery and transferred through converter?

How is energy source stored?

The answer depends on the source. Wood is stored in stacks. Coal is stored in piles or bins. Oil and gas is stored in tanks. Electricity is stored in batteries or capacitors. Water power, solar power and wind power can not be stored in any simple way if at all.


What happens to unused solar power?

Unused solar power will usualy be stored and then used later when their is no sun or for emergancies. Or it can be sold back to the electrical grid.

How is solar energy stored and how it is released?

Solar energy is most commonly stored in batteries, depending on when it is going to be used. However, if it's not stored, it is used, or released, right away into the power grid to be used as normal electricty.

Who was the inventor of PS3?

The Sony PlayStation 3 is not powered by Solar Power. If someone has connected it to a solar power source that is capable of allowing the PS3 to function they did not invent a solar power PS3 and just connected the PS3 to a solar power source with the capability of providing enough power to the PS3 for it to function. It is likely that the solar power would be stored in batteries which would then be used to provide the power.
