Abstract

The renewable energy sources include the clean green technology, which motivates a healthy environment but also encourages using them in rural areas where grid supply is not available. The fundamentals of solar photovoltaic technologies and their sustainability on the earth are discussed in this chapter. The various internal phenomena that occur in the sun and the solar spectrum are discussed. The various applications of photovoltaics and modeling of the solar cell are also discussed.
