The modification of relevant chemical properties of rhodopsin-basedmolecular photoswitches is presented. We show how both the substituents present and the nitrogen atom quaternization are capable to change the wavelength of absorption and the thermal stability of the photoisomer. Adjusting these properties, the molecularswitches could be turned into useful compounds for solar energy storage devices
