It examines the current state of solar power and related academic solar energy research in different countries, aiming to provide valuable guidance for researchers, designers, and policymakers interested in incorporating solar energy into their nation's electricity generation.
Solar research at NREL is multifaceted, incorporating basic energy science, engineering, and energy analysis. Our photovoltaic (PV) research spans across fundamental and applied research and development, including theory and modeling, materials deposition, device design, engineering, and measurements and characterization.
The utilization of renewable energy as a future energy resource is drawing significant attention worldwide. The contribution of solar energy (including concentrating solar power (CSP) and solar photovoltaic (PV) power) to global electricity production, as one form of renewable energy sources, is generally still low, at 3.6%.
Academic research plays a crucial role in shaping a country's industry. This review paper focuses on the connection between academic solar energy research and its practical real-world implications.
The Solar Futures Study is a report by the U.S Department of Energy's Solar Energy Technologies Office (SETO) that explores the role of solar energy in achieving a decarbonized grid by 2035 and a decarbonized energy system by 2050. The Solar Futures Study does research, development, demonstration, and deployment assistance for solar energy.
