Abstract: | The use of energy in our day to day life has grown exponentially and
conserving energy to meet the world’s escalating energy demands is the need of
the hour. During the past decade there is a heightened awareness all over the
world that the production costs of energy from coal, oil and natural gas is
increasingly higher and at the same time the energy technologies involving their
use are contributing to a serious rise in the greenhouse gases in the environment
and a consequent global warming. As a result, more attention is focused on the
utilization of clean energy technologies, especially solar energy which has a
great potential to meet a large fraction of world’s energy demands using
photovoltaics (PV). The heart of the PV system that efficiently convert sunlight
directly into electricity through photovoltaic effect is the solar cell - originally
developed for space applications in the 1950s, are now used in consumer
products, mounted on roofs of houses or assembled into large power stations. |
