Solar energy technology is one of the promising renewable energy technologies for the development of net-zero energy building and zero peak building. The peak demand in the built environment occurs during high thermal stress conditions; hence the solar space cooling system plays a vital role in peak demand reduction. One of the main reasons for ...
It is pointed out that in 1970 the total energy consumed in the U.S. was equal to the energy of sunlight received by only 0.15% of the land area of the continental U.S. The utilization of solar energy might, therefore, provide an approach for solving the energy crisis produced by the consumption of irreplaceable fossil fuels at a steadily increasing rate. Questions regarding the …

Solar thermal energy takes advantage of the sun''s energy to obtain heat. Industry and in the residential and commercial sectors can use this technology. Solar thermal energy is defined as low, medium, or high-temperature collectors (CSP energy). Typically, residential collectors work at low temperatures.
His research interests in the field of Solar Energy Applications are solar distillation, water/air heating system, greenhouse technology for agriculture and aquaculture, earth-to-air heat exchangers, passive building design, hybrid photovoltaic thermal (HPVT) systems, climate change, energy security, etc. He has guided about 75 PhD students and ...
Solar energy technologies harness the energy of solar irradiance to produce electricity. Currently, there are principally two technologies employed: photovoltaics (PV) and concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies. PV generates electricity using the conducting properties of certain chemicals most importantly silicon, through the photo ...
Solar energy is radiation from the Sun that is capable of producing heat, causing chemical reactions, or generating electricity. The total amount of solar energy incident on Earth is vastly in excess of the world''s energy requirements and could satisfy all future energy needs if suitably harnessed.
Based on that, after many years of research and development from scientists worldwide, solar energy technology is classified into two key applications: solar thermal and solar PV. PV systems convert the Sun''s energy into electricity by utilizing solar panels.
