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 improvements and cost reductions achieved through technological innovations, such as multi-junction PV cells, thin-film technologies, and next-generation CSP designs.
The efficiency of photovoltaic systems is crucial in maximizing performance and ensuring their economic and environmental viability in large-scale applications. Several technological, ecological, design, installation, and operational factors directly influence the ability of these systems to convert solar radiation into usable energy.
Solar energy technologies, including PV systems and CSP plants, offer sustainable electricity generation by directly converting sunlight into electricity or heat. PV systems utilize solar panels to generate electricity, while CSP plants strengthen solar rays to produce heat, driving turbines for energy generation (Kumar et al. 2022c).
In conclusion, solar energy technologies offer a sustainable solution for electricity generation, with numerous environmental, economic, and social benefits. By harnessing the abundant and renewable energy from the sun, solar power reduces greenhouse gas emissions, mitigates climate change, and promotes energy independence.
