Solar cells: Varieties and utilization-A short review

Abstract

Now-a-days, power from Sun (solar light) is generated universally. At present, there is a claim of clean energy and we can get a great amountof power from sun. Energy from sun is boundless andhuge amount of energy (heat and light) falls on ground per day andif we can use that energy properly then there is a hope of satisfactoriness in energy. To get energy from sun, we use various kinds of solar cells. Solar cell converts light into electricity directly by using photovoltaic effect and there are many varieties of them. Solar cell is also well-known as photovoltaic cell (PV cell) and is used to switch sun's energy into electrical energy. Getting power from sun is considered as the solution of sustainable energy.But for that, we need to know how and where we can use solar energy and where it will be supplementary proficient to apply. In this paper, we have discussed about the types of solar cells and good things about solar concentrated tower. Mainly remarkable, to produce electricity, a block diagram has been discussed with some important applications to make this energy efficient in this paper. In the direction of gettinghuge power, only solar panel is not satisfying as solar power tower with mirror (solar energy concentrated tower) gives a large amount of power. So, in our block diagram, we are using both solar panel and solar concentrated tower as both solar panel and tower will be more efficient if connected together.
