Various energy storage devices are highly demanded by o ur modern society. The use of solar energy, an important green energy source, is extremely attractive for future energy storage. Recently, photo‐assisted energy storage devices have rapidly developed as they efficiently convert and store solar energy, while their configurations are simple and their external energy decline is much reduced. Light‐assisted energy storage devices thus provide a potential way to utilize sunlight at a large scale that is both affordable and limitless. Considering rapid development and emerging problems for photo‐assisted energy storage devices, this review starts with the fundamentals of batteries and supercapacitors and follows with the state‐of‐the‐art photo‐assisted energy storage devices where device components, working principles, types, and practical applications are explained. After the detailed demonstration of some photo‐assisted energy storage devices examples, the bottleneck of such light‐assisted energy storage devices is discussed and the prospects of the light‐assisted rechargeable devices are further outlined.

Solar cells hold a function of photovoltaic conversion, while rechargeable metal batteries have an advantage of high energy storage. The conventional charge mode of batteries is made based on complete utilization of electric energy. The combination of solar cells and rechargeable metal batteries brings a new opportunity for the development of photo‐assisted rechargeable batteries, in which the solar energy can be utilized to partially achieve photo‐charging with or without external electrical bias. This review highlights the working mechanism and structure design of photo‐assisted rechargeable metal batteries according to the characteristics of rechargeable metal batteries and advantage of the photovoltaic technology. In particular, the recent advances are introduced for photo‐assisted rechargeable batteries based on light‐weight metal anodes, including metal lithium, metal sodium, and metal zinc. The working features of the integrated devices are also discussed for energy saving under photo‐assisted charging mode. Finally, a future outlook is provided for further improving the performance of photo‐assisted rechargeable metal batteries.
