| Popis: | The total amount of solar energy we are receiving from the sun is about 10, 000 times as much as we are consuming now. As a typical distributed energy source, solar energy is one of the most promising clean and renewable energy for the mankind in the future. Especially, solar photovoltaic power generation systems, which convert solar energy directly into electricity, are attracting many ones attention because of its simplicity and wide field of applications.After a long period of R&D and various kinds of governmental supporting programs, the cost of photovoltaic systems are reduced significantly, the conversion efficiency is improved and the large scale commercialization has just started. The present status. as well as the future prospects, of R&D and introduction of photovoltaic systems are described. |
