Solar energy technology. The are 2 main types of solar energy technology: concentrated solar thermal (CST) solar photovoltaic (solar PV). CST uses a field of mirrors to reflect sunlight on to a receiver, which transfers the heat to a thermal energy storage system.. Typical solar PV cells are covered in glass and protected by aluminium frame, collectively known as a solar panel.

Solar energy is a promising alternative to energy generated from fossil fuel. Solar energy is the most renewable and abundant energy source that can help reduce the greenhouse gas emission (Sobek and Werle, 2019). Thermochemical conversion technologies generally need high amount of heat generated from fossil fuels or electricity.

Solar Energy Challenges . There are certain challenges of solar energy that need to be overcome. 1. Greater Production Costs Per Unit. The price of solar energy has dropped a lot, small solar power projects still cost more than other energy sources. The Union Government is helping to build large solar parks. 2. Basic Obstacles
Solar energy is the most abundant energy available on earth and can be harvested directly into electricity by utilizing photovoltaic modules. This includes electricity generated from solar photovoltaic and concentrated solar power technologies, although solar PV is the primary contributor.
1 - Why Solar Energy? The solar photovoltaic (PV) industry has, in the space of a decade, developed into a major renewable energy business. Although solar energy is a dilute form of energy, it can be successfully and economically harnessed to make electricity.
The topic Solar Energy was used as a search topic in the Web of Science ® for each year from the late 1940s to the present day for publications from the World and the USA. The number of publications from the Web of Science for the entire World (total) and for the United States of America (USA) as a function of year for the topic Solar Energy.
This efficiency is dictated in part by the fact that the physics of photovoltaic devices demands that the material should begin absorbing solar energy above a certain energy level to allow a potential (voltage) to be developed. Without this potential no power can result since power is the product of voltage and current.
It is certain that solar energy requires more research and development to allow its success and integration into the energy industry. Scientific discoveries are needed, yet, good engineering as well as manufacturing expertise needs to be pursued.
The total energy consumption in the world today is less than 0.02% of the total solar energy shining on the earth. Most people in the world live in areas with insolation levels of 150–300 W m −2 or 3.5–7.0 kW h m –2 d –1, where d refers to day . This magnitude of solar energy available makes it an appealing source of electricity.
Solar energy technologies can help to mitigate CO2 generation and must be used. The Sun produces an incredible amount of energy each and every day. There is enough to supply all the energy needs for everyone in the World in one hour to emphasize the magnitude.
