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.
TE devices can be integrated into solar power generation systems to collect heat from (1) the cooling system of PV solar panels simply by combining TE modules to collect waste heat from the coolant; or (2) using a sun beam splitter to absorb heat from solar radiation apart from the PV system.
Solar photovoltaic principles The working principle of solar PV (SPV) cells is based on the PV or photoelectric effect for semiconductor materials. These formulate that, in certain circumstances, an electron (e −) of a semiconductor material can absorb an energy packet known as photon.
The solar-powered cooling system has the advantage of providing zero-emission with eco-friendly working fluids. The solar cooling system includes three components (solar collector, heat sink and refrigeration/air-conditioning unit) as shown in Fig. 1.12. Figure 1.12. Components of a solar cooling.
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.
Energy is a necessary ingredient for human development. The solar resource is abundant. The solar resource distribution is well matched to growing human energy demand. Solar is renewable, and is a 5-10x lower-carbon energy source than fossil fuels. How Solar?
