Technology allows solar energy to be converted into electricity through photovoltaic devices and solar thermal heat. These methods utilize the sun without generating by-products or pollution that can contribute to global warming. As more progress is made in the means to generate and store natural solar energy‚ the problems with greenhouse gases due to man-made emissions can be significantly reduced. Photovoltaic Energy * Photovoltaic devices utilize the light from the sun to power calculators‚ watches

hope we don’t have to wait until oil and coal run out before we tackle that. – Thomas Alva Edison‚ 1931 The oil embargo of the 1970s prompted a national surge of interest in solar energy. A solar water heater was installed in the White House‚ and photovoltaic panels first came into play‚ notably in California. While previously solar power as a direct source of electricity had been limited to esoteric functions‚ such as in spacecraft‚ companies began to form with the idea of using solar as a regular

sunlight into electricity using photovoltaics (PV)‚ or indirect conversion using concentrated solar power (CSP). Concentrated solar power systems use lenses or mirrors and tracking systems to focus a large area of sunlight into a small beam. Photovoltaics convert light into electric current using the photovoltaic effect. Solar panels (also solar module‚ photovoltaic module or photovoltaic panel) use light energy from the sun to generate electricity through the photovoltaic effect. A solar panel is a

ABSTRACT Bangladesh is experiencing an acute shortage of electric power that is likely to be worsening day by day which stresses the need for the deployment of renewable energy resources to extenuate this energy crisis. Since Bangladesh is a country which is abundant in natural resources; the substantial availability of renewable energy sources in the form of solar‚ biomass‚ biogas‚ hydropower and wind energy can provide opportunities of sustainable energy based development. In Bangladesh‚ nearly

or PV inverter‚ converts the variable direct current (DC) output of a photovoltaic (PV) solar panel into a utility frequencyalternating current (AC) that can be fed into a commercial electrical grid or used by a local‚ off-grid electrical network. It is a critical component in a photovoltaic system‚ allowing the use of ordinary commercial appliances. Solar inverters have special functions adapted for use with photovoltaic arrays‚ including maximum power point tracking and anti-islanding protection

Social Impacts of Photovoltaic Technology: A Preliminary Desk-Based Research Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) technology has distinct environmental advantages for generating electricity over conventional technologies. PV technology does not produce any noise‚ toxic-gas emissions‚ or greenhouse gases. It is a zero-emissions process. However‚ from a sustainable approach‚ social impacts should also be analyzed in order to better understand the whole impact of the technology. After explaining the
