A detailed methodology to design the size of solar field for a parabolic trough plant is not explicitly available in open literature, particularly if thermal storage and hybridization are also considered, as most of the papers present a gross overview.
Analytical expression of the physical parameters of an illuminataed solar cell using explicit J-V model.
Solar tower technology has gained considerable momentum over the past decade.
The annual consumption of petroleum products in India was about 221 million metric tons in 2015.
With increasing contribution of solar PV based systems in our energy mix, it is crucial to understand their vulnerabilities.
For the last couple of years, photovoltaics (PV) has been the preferred choice of technology for harnessing solar energy against Concentrated Solar Power (CSP).
Access to electricity can bring about a transformative change in the economic conditions and growth of any country.
Recently a simple explicit model was introduced to represent theJ–Vcharacteristics of an illuminated solar cell with parasitic resistances and bias dependent photocurrent asj=(1−vm)/(1+αv), here the normalized voltage,vand normalized current densityjcan be represented asv=V/Vocandj=J/Jscrespectively, whereVocis the open circuit voltage andJscis the short circuit current density.

The agricultural sector in Karnataka accounts for 39% of the state’s electricity (~21,344 MU).
In the race to achieve India’s National Solar Mission (NSM) targets, one important solar technology is slowly disappearing.
The International Energy Agency (IEA) reported that the global solar photovoltaic (PV) installed capacity is expected to increase beyond 1,600 Gigawatts (GW) by 2030.
An efficient recycling ecosystem will greatly help in reducing the loss of critical materials.
After Finance Ministry’s (MoF) decision to reject Commerce Ministry’s (MoC) proposal of anti-dumping duties (ADD) in late August, solar developers heaved a big sigh of relief In this article, we review the controversy generated by the proposal for ADD in the light of existing evidence and future outlook for the solar photovoltaic (SPV) industry.
The J–V equation of a solar cell is implicit and requires iterative calculation to determine the fill factor and the maximum power point.
