Abstract

Solar energy is referred to as the energy that comes from the sun’s rays. There are many ways to use this power including heating a house, providing electricity, or desalination of seawater. Energy is a form of power that is used to do many different things. Energy is used to light our houses, run our vehicles, trains, planes, ships, rockets, and others. Energy also warms our homes, cooks our food, plays our music, and allows us to see images on the TV screen. Energy is what makes the world go around. It is what makes this world of ours work. Energy is not always outside. When we eat food, our bodies convert food to energy. This energy we burn is in the form of work or exercise. Energy comes in many forms one of which is solar energy. Solar energy is being used widely today and this is what will be discussed in this book.

The reason solar energy was the most likely source of new energy was because it was clean and renewable. When we wash our clothes and hang them up to dry, we are in fact using the sun’s rays to dry them. Plants use the sun’s rays to make food. Even the human skin uses the sun’s rays to produce vitamin D.

The fast-growing demand for energy and the recognition of man-made global climate change underscore the urgency of developing clean and renewable energy resources to replace fossil fuels. Harvesting energy directly from sunlight by using photovoltaics (PV), photo catalysis, artificial photosynthesis, and other enabling technologies is a promising way to meet such requirements. As an alternative to conventional PV cells based on crystalline silicon wafer, vacuum-deposited CIGS and CZTS thin-film PV cells as well as solution-processed inorganic and organic thin-film PV cells offer processing advantages that will likely enable low-cost, high-throughput, and large-area PV production. Furthermore, the development of efficient and smart energy storage systems is imperative to effectively ensure reliable energy supply and increase the penetration of solar energy utilization
