IRJET-Review on Solar Thermal and Photovoltaic Energy SystemIRJET Journal
This document summarizes and compares solar thermal and photovoltaic energy systems. Solar thermal systems indirectly generate electricity by using solar collectors to heat a liquid or gas, then converting the heat to electricity. Concentrated solar power is a type of solar thermal that uses tracking mechanisms to focus sunlight and achieve higher temperatures and efficiencies. Photovoltaic systems directly convert sunlight into electricity using solar panels without heat exchange. While photovoltaic systems have higher energy production, even at low light levels, their limitation is lack of cost-effective electricity storage. Solar thermal systems allow for thermal energy storage at low cost and therefore can provide dispatchable electricity production. Both systems show potential but differ in energy conversion methods and ability to store excess energy

it works, system components, options); Selection criteria e.g. location, size,
technology, O&M, contract type (PPA).
The document discusses the growing size and scale of photovoltaic power plants. Large-scale PV plants are now reaching dimensions similar to conventional power plants, with some solar parks exceeding 100 MW in capacity. The world's largest solar power plant under construction in 2015 will have a 579 MW capacity. PV outputs are achieving scales equal to coal power stations, and some propose PV plants exceeding 1 GW in Asia. Large-scale PV plants are becoming an important long-term investment with relatively low risk due to stable electricity generation costs and revenue from government incentives.
IRJET- Rankine Cycle Coupled with Heliostat Solar Receiver; A ReviewIRJET Journal
