Abstract

The need for inexpensive, clean energy is increasing every day. As more and more countries develop and the world‘s population increases, the need to power the world increases. One of the most promising sources of energy for powering the planet is solar energy. Approximately 120,000 terawatts (TW) of solar energy strike the earth every day. Currently, only 0.05% of the world energy production is from solar energy. Because solar energy is relatively more expensive than conventional means of energy, such as coal and fossil fuels.
