Abstract

Due to inadequate fossil fuels in a world, there is high increasing demand for utilization of human beings and the sustainable renewable energy resources play an important role in developing and non-developing countries. However, among the numerous energy resources, solar energy is promising because of environmental eco-friendly and unlimited supply. There is immense experiment in the proper usage of solar energy as a fresh, non-polluted environment factors. The solar radiation energy mainly helps to convert in the form of electric energy and thermal energy. It is an alternative method to produce electricity in a wider range of industrial purposes as well as in some other fields such as building applications, food storage products, agricultural purposes to operate pumps, engines, motors, and various industrial appliances such as fans and refrigerators. This present study focused on the various forms of solar energy utilization and in depth of thermal applications, solar drying, and photovoltaic thermal systems related to domestic and such industrial usage.

Keywords: Collectors, heating systems, solar drying, photovoltaic, PV/T systems
