Considering the intermittence and variability of PV power generation, the deployment of battery energy storage can smoothen the power output. However, the investment cost of battery energy storage is pertinent to non-negligible expenses. Thus, the installation of energy-storage equipment in a PVEH system is a complex trade-off problem.
A chief limitation of photovoltaic (PV) systems is accommodating the temporal mismatch between energy delivery and consumption, in particular when 100% of year-round power demand must be satisfied.
Namely, PV power does not offer a totally renewable solution if all electricity needs must be satisfied at all times, but rather must be enhanced with energy storage that invariably engenders its own non-renewable characteristics, or with supplemental renewable sources such as wind or hydroelectric that are also limited by their ephermeral nature.
This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.
PV systems constitute a proven space technology, offering a viable, practical, reliable, efficient and long-lifetime option for lunar colonies. One must distinguish, however, between specific power and conversion efficiency.
This stands in marked contrast to large PV power plants on Earth where rows of east-west PV arrays are placed to the north and south of one another, such that there is shading during certain hours and days of the year depending on latitude, realizable array spacing, and tracking mode.

With the limiting supply of fossil fuel and the beneficial impact of technological innovation on renewable energy costs, PV power generation is increasingly considered a
