Abstract

The chapter begins by highlighting the rapid depletion of fossil fuel reserves and the urgent need for sustainable energy sources. It provides a historical overview of fossil fuel consumption and projects future demands, emphasizing the necessity of transitioning to renewable energy. The core of the chapter focuses on the estimation of total solar energy reaching the Earth, utilizing a Cartesian coordinate system to analyze solar irradiance. It delves into the mathematical and physical principles governing solar radiation, including the use of MATLAB software for precise calculations. The text also explores the conversion of solar radiation into electrical energy, presenting a detailed theoretical model and equations that describe the process. Furthermore, it discusses the potential of solar energy to meet global energy demands, suggesting that a fraction of the solar energy reaching the Earth could satisfy worldwide energy needs. The chapter concludes by advocating for the adoption of solar power as a clean, renewable, and abundant energy source to address climate change and energy security challenges.
