Chapter 5: Planning and modeling of solar energy systems
Abstract
The progress in industry of a country is linked with per capita energy consumption. Conventional energy sources are becoming extinct because of their exhaustive use and causing serious environmental damage. Renewable energy sources are replacing existing conventional power plants operated on fossil fuels. Solar energy is a renewable energy sources that has various advantages over other conventional and renewable energy sources. The source of solar energy is free and unexhausted. Solar energy can be extracted in different forms: solar thermal, solar photovoltaic, and solar lighting. This chapter discusses the planning and modeling of photovoltaic-based solar energy systems. ...
