<title>Abstract</title> <p>Energy storage systems are increasingly treated as core infrastructure for renewable-energy transitions, yet much of the literature still evaluates storage as a technology or market asset rather than as a spatially situated, climate-risk-sensitive system that can be improved through Earth observation and geospatial intelligence. This PRISMA-based systematic review examines how satellite data, remote sensing, GIS, digital tools and energy-storage technologies can be integrated to support renewable-powered resilient energy systems. Searches were conducted across Scopus, Web of Science, ScienceDirect, IEEE Xplore, Google Scholar and institutional sources from 2018 to 2025. From 170 identified records, 25 sources were included in qualitative thematic synthesis and evidence mapping. The review identifies five connected themes: Earth-observation-enabled siting and resource assessment, storage technology diversification, techno-economic and lifecycle sustainability, governance and market design, and digitalization through AI, IoT and digital twins. The findings show that Earth observation can strengthen energy-storage planning by locating renewable-resource variability, land-use constraints, climate hazards, grid-access conditions and equity risks, while storage technologies provide the temporal flexibility needed to transform variable renewable generation into dependable supply. The main research gap is the limited integration of geospatial evidence, storage dispatch, lifecycle assessment and justice-oriented policy within a single decision framework. The paper proposes a geospatial socio-technical transition model and a future research agenda for storage-enabled renewable systems aligned with Sustainable Development Goals 7, 11 and 13.</p>
