Solar photovoltaic (PV) power generation is the process of converting energy from the sun into electricity using solar panels. Solar panels, also called PV panels, are combined into arrays in a PV system. PV systems can also be installed in grid-connected or off-grid (stand-alone) configurations.
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 power is the conversion of sunlight into electricity, either directly using photovoltaic (PV), or indirectly using concentrated solar power (CSP). The research has been underway since very beginning for the development of an affordable, in-exhaustive and clean solar energy technology for longer term benefits.
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 solar electricity seeks to convert light from the sun directly into electricity through a process known as photovoltaic. Photovoltaic system may be categorized as stand-alone photovoltaic system, photovoltaic system for vehicle applications (solar vehicles), grid-connected photovoltaic system and building systems.
The photovoltaic (PV) solar system is made up of a total of three components: (I) photovoltaic cells or solar arrays, (II) the system’s overall equilibrium, and (III) the load. Installing photovoltaic panels, which give clean, green electricity, is one of the most important advantages because it offers significant cost savings.
