Emerging Technologies in Solar Energy

Solar energy is a renewable form of energy which is produced by conversion of solar irradiance. The heat and light energy of the sun can be converted into electrical and thermal energy. Solar technologies are categorized into passive and active systems. Passive systems don't use any external devices, but use heat and light directly from the sun. An active system employs an external device to convert solar energy into electricity. Some of the common techniques used to harness solar energy ar...
