The PV technology convert visible spectrum to electricity and thermal collectors use both infrared and visible spectrum for energy generation. So the energy generation from solar radiation can be in the form of electrical energy or thermal Energy. The various conversion paths of solar energy is described in the Fig.2
The energy from heat and light of solar radiation can be extracted to useful applications and the principle of operation is different depending on the technology. The PV technology convert visible spectrum to electricity and thermal collectors use both infrared and visible spectrum for energy generation.
In terms of renewable energy, solar energy is the most promising direction for producing electrical energy. For the efficient use of solar energy it is necessary to understand how electrical energy is produced from the sun. This document de-scribes the principle of solar energy to generate electrical energy.
Based on the aforementioned catalytic performances of distinct solar-based technologies, a combined solar energy conversion pathway, namely extraterritorial photosynthesis, is proposed (Figure 3). The EP process is proposed for extraterrestrial conditions, particularly for the moon.
While the average solar radiation flux is 1361 W/m 2, the annual fluctuation due to the Earth''s eliptical orbit is greater than 40 W/m 2, resulting in peak extraterrestrial radiation flux of about 1410 W/m 2 in
