New Frontiers in Photoenergy : NY Research Press : 9781632387677 : 1632387670 : 22 Sep 2020 : Photoenergy is the renewable energy which is derived from sunlight using a variety of technologies such as photovoltaics, solar architecture and solar heating. Photovoltaics refer to the conversion of light energy into electricity by using semiconductors which show photovoltaic effect. The solar cells in the photovoltaic system produce DC electricity from sunlight which can be used to charge batteries or power equipment. Solar architecture incorporates principles from architecture in order to harness clean and renewable solar power. Solar heaters make use of solar thermal collectors for collecting heat using sunlight. A few examples of solar heaters are solar parabolic troughs, solar water heaters and solar air heaters. This book provides comprehensive insights into the field of photoenergy. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. It is appropriate for student
