Nevertheless, solar energy conversion continues to attract fervent efforts devoted to the discovery and development of new materials, concepts, devices, and systems that can provide new and/or dramatically improved function-ality and scalability.
The accurate design of a Solar Energy Conversion System (SECS) requires a good understanding of the solar characteristics at the location of interest. For this reason, selecting the right location is crucial, as it impacts not only the technical but also the economic viability of the proposed design.
Among them, solar energy is one of the most widely used since it is abundant on Earth, and pollution free with respect to the environment. Increasing attentions have been paid to study the effective usage of solar energy. Photovoltaic (PV) cells are popularly considered a feasible device for solar energy conversion.
The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
Through a detailed and systematic literature survey, the present review study summarizes the world solar energy status, including concentrating solar power and solar PV power, along with published solar energy potential assessment articles for 235 countries and territories as the first step toward developing solar energy in these regions.
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.
