       1.1.1 Solar Energy

      The light energy produced from the sun is considered as one of the abundant and readily available energy resources. It is a significant source of renewable energy. The heat from the sun can also be extracted as thermal energy and used for solar-based heating applications. Depending on the type of energy capture and distribution, the solar power conversion technique is broadly classified as follows:

      1 Active solar technique

      2 Passive solar technique

      The active solar technique uses the concept of the solar photovoltaic (PV) system, concentrated solar power (CSP), and solar heating system, whereas the passive solar uses the technique of selecting materials of thermal nature and light dispersion property.

      A. Solar Photovoltaic System

      Monocrystalline and polycrystalline are the two major types of the solar cell. A monocrystalline solar cell is made from a single crystal of silicon, whereas polycrystalline cells are made by melting together many shards of silicon crystals. Monocrystalline solar cells are efficient when compared to polycrystalline type. It is due to the usage of monolithic crystal of silicon which aids in the easy flow of electrons that constitute the electric current. The electricity flow in polycrystalline silicon is very difficult due to the many layers of silicon structure. The process of making solar panel using polycrystalline is very simple when compared to monocrystalline.

      Sometimes, the output yield is very low in this Fresnel system and so Fresnel reflectors with ray tracing was introduced to yield maximum output.
