Write a literature review on solar energy or panel.
Solar energy mainly used for electricity production and heat
generation. Solar energy has high level of technological
development. In early period, small scale photovoltaic cells were
used. Solar energy resources exceed the entire global energy
demand. Solar energy resources consist of light of sunlight and
heat that generate from sunlight. Solar energy can be classified
into two; photovoltaic and solar thermal.
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology: The sunlight absorbed by ells
of panel, which create electric field across the layers and flow of
electricity. Individual cells are small in size and produce 1 or 2
watts. To boost the power, there is connected PV cells were used.
His PV modules are mainly labour intensive than capital and
technology.
Solar Thermal: Concentrating solar power cells technology used to
reflect the sunlight into a single point were collected and
converted the sunlight. This method used in utility scale projects.
There are three main concentrating solar powers; linear
concentration system, engine system and power tower system. Solar
energy using PV model will expand the employment level and also the
upgrade the living standard of people who depends on solar
energy.
