  2. Solar energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_energy_conversion

    Solar energy conversion has the potential to be a very cost-effective technology. It is cheaper as compared to non-conventional energy sources. The use of solar energy help to increase employment and development of the transportation & agriculture sector. Solar installations are becoming cheaper and more readily available to countries where ...

  3. Photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Photovoltaics

    Reported timeline of research solar cell energy conversion efficiencies since 1976 (National Renewable Energy Laboratory) Solar-cell efficiency is the portion of energy in the form of sunlight that can be converted via photovoltaics into electricity by the solar cell.

  4. Carbon nanotubes in photovoltaics - Wikipedia

    Under illumination, SWNT diodes show significant power conversion efficiencies owing to enhanced properties of an ideal diode. Recently, SWNTs were directly configured as energy conversion materials to fabricate thin-film solar cells, with nanotubes serving as both photogeneration sites and a charge carriers collecting/transport layer.

  5. Thermophotovoltaic energy conversion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermophotovoltaic_energy...

    Thermophotovoltaic (TPV) energy conversion is a direct conversion process from heat to electricity via photons. A basic thermophotovoltaic system consists of a hot object emitting thermal radiation and a photovoltaic cell similar to a solar cell but tuned to the spectrum being emitted from the hot object.

    Processing silica (SiO 2) to produce silicon is a very high energy process - at current efficiencies, it takes one to two years for a conventional solar cell to generate as much energy as was used to make the silicon it contains. More energy efficient methods of synthesis are not only beneficial to the solar industry, but also to industries ...
