TL;DR: This critical literature review serves as a guide to understand the characteristics of the approaches followed to integrate photovoltaic devices and storage in one device, shedding light on the improvements required to develop more robust products for a sustainable future.

TL;DR: A practical, non-empirical battery lifetime estimation methodology specific to the application and the available candidate battery choices that can potentially help SHS designers in estimating battery lifetimes and therefore making optimal SHS design choices.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight the operational challenges and performance parameters using the first-year measured data and show that the theoretically predicted energy yield is compared with the measured energy yield, and theoretical proof is offered that it is not unreasonable to expect an annual energy yield in the upwards of 150kWh/m $2$ with solar road energy harvesting technology.

TL;DR: An optimal SHS sizing methodology is presented that minimizes the loss of load probability (LLP), excess energy dump, and battery size while maximizing the battery lifetime.

TL;DR: This study culminated in devising a stochastic, bottom-up load profile construction methodology with sample load profiles constructed for each tier of the MTF, which exhibits several advantages like scalability and adaptability for specific regions and communities based on community-specific measured or desired electricity usage data.
