Photovoltaic (PV) cells are popularly considered a feasible device for solar energy conversion. However, the temperature on the surface of a working solar cells can be high, which significantly decreases the power conversion efficiency and seriously reduces the cell life.
A photovoltaic (PV) plant allows for the transformation of solar radiation into the electrical energy, and this conversion takes place through a so-called semiconductor devices termed as PV cells. Nowadays the most used semiconductor material is silicon, which can be monocrystalline, polycrystalline, or amorphous.
However, the temperature on the surface of a working solar cells can be high, which significantly decreases the power conversion efficiency and seriously reduces the cell life. Therefore, developing novel technologies to solve thermal issues for photovoltaic power systems is necessary.
Thermophotovoltaics is the photovoltaic approach most directly associated with thermal conversion (Fig. 7a). Emission from the heated receiver is confined to a narrow bandwidth, through filtering for example, and directed to a cell.
Solar energy conversion describes technologies devoted to the transformation of solar energy to other (useful) forms of energy, including electricity, fuel, and heat.
Solar energy conversion has the potential to be a very cost-effective technology. It is cheaper as compared to non-conventional energy sources. The use of solar energy help to increase employment and development of the transportation & agriculture sector.
