Technologies for Harnessing Solar Energy
Solar energy utilization technologies can be divided into two main categories:
- This involves technologies that capture sunlight and convert it into thermal energy, typically for heating purposes.
- This includes photovoltaic systems that directly convert sunlight into electrical energy.
Additionally, in recent years, hybrid applications, such as Concentrated Photovoltaic (CPV) systems, have been developed, combining elements of both heat and electricity generation for more efficient energy production.
