Sustainable Electricity Generation Through Solar Energy
The abstract begins by elucidating the principles of solar energy conversion through solar photovoltaic cells and concentrated solar power (CSP) systems. It discusses the efficiency
The PV technology convert visible spectrum to electricity and thermal collectors use both infrared and visible spectrum for energy generation. So the energy generation from solar radiation can be in the form of electrical energy or thermal Energy. The various conversion paths of solar energy is described in the Fig.2
In terms of renewable energy, solar energy is the most promising direction for producing electrical energy. For the efficient use of solar energy it is necessary to understand how electrical energy is produced from the sun. This document de-scribes the principle of solar energy to generate electrical energy.
As majority of our energy requirements are in the form of electricity, PV works on the principle of photovoltaic effect. The generation of thermal energy from solar can be realized using various solar reflecting collectors. Most of the technology works on the principle of reflection, radiation and convention or based on the thermosiphon effect.
The conversion of solar energy into electrical power occurs with the conversion of solar radiation into electricity using photovoltaic (PV) technology or with the heating of water to drive a turbine and generator. Other solar systems heat water or air rather than generate electricity.
