Abstract

Since the greenhouse effect of overconsumption of fossil fuels is the cause of global warming, efforts have been made in recent decades to replace coal, oil and natural gas with solar energy. Solar cookers, photovoltaic (PV) panels, solar thermal collectors, concentrating solar power plants, and other methods is applicable to harness the sun's energy and bury it into heat and electrical energy. Focusing primarily on solar panels, the purpose of this discussion is to introduce various solar panel systems such as: As an example, we study a molten salt cavity receiver's and heliostat collector's energy and exertion. Finally, we present some methods to optimize plant performance by calculating cycle energy and exergy losses.
