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
Solar energy is a renewable and sustainable form of power derived from the radiant energy of the sun. This energy is harnessed through various technologies, primarily through photovoltaic cells and solar thermal systems.
Various means for garnering energy from the Sun are presented, including photovoltaics (PV), thin film solar cells, quantum dot cells, concentrating PV and thermal solar power stations, which are more efficient in practical terms. Finally the prospects of space based (satellite) solar power are considered.
This energy received from the sun can be harnessed directly or indirectly using various technologies for thermal applications as well as for converting into electricity by the means of photovoltaic (PV) systems. Over the years the photovoltaic technology advanced a lot and the efficiency of solar cell has considerably improved.
Abstract: This chapter presents the important features of solar photovoltaic (PV) generation and an overview of electrical storage technologies. The basic unit of a solar PV generation system is a solar cell, which is a P‐N junction diode. The power electronic converters used in solar systems are usually DC‐DC converters and DC‐AC converters.
The major factors that limit the use of solar energy for various applications is that, it is cyclic time-dependent energy source. Therefore, solar system requires energy storage to provide energy in the absence of insolation . Comprehensive research and advancement in energy storage technologies offers benefits for solar in energy application.
