Role of Semiconductors in Solar Energy

Abstract

The sun generates solar energy, which is non-depleting, renewable, and environmentally friendly. Every hour, enough sunlight energy strikes the earth to supply the world's annual energy demand. In today's generation, electricity was required every hour. Solar energy is used for a wide range of applications, including industrial, commercial, and residential. It may easily obtain energy from direct sunshine. As a result, it is extremely efficient while also being environmentally friendly. We looked at the energy obtained from sunshine in this piece, as well as future trends and challenges. Furthermore, the essay tries to explore societal energy functions, energy production, photovoltaics, concentrated solar power (CSPs), solar cell efficiency, fuel generation, and semiconductor roles.
