Vega Garita, V.E. (author), Ramirez Elizondo, L.M. (author), Bauer, P. (author)Solar-battery systems are still expensive, bulky, and space consuming. To tackle these issues, we propose a novel device that combines all the components of a solar-battery system in one device. This device might help reduce installation cost compared to the current solar-battery systems as well as provide a plug-and-play solution. However, this...journal article 2017
