Global energy demand and environmental concerns are the driving force for use of alternative, sustainable, and clean energy sources. Solar energy is the inexhaustible and CO 2-emission-free energy source worldwide.The Sun provides 1.4×10 5 TW power as received on the surface of the Earth and about 3.6×10 4 TW of this power is usable.
An integrated model to assess solar photovoltaic potentials and their cost competitiveness throughout 2020 to 2060 considering multiple spatiotemporal factors finds that the cost competitiveness of solar power allows for pairing with storage capacity to supply 7.2 PWh of grid-compatible electricity, meeting 43.2% of China''s demand in 2060 …
Benefits of solar photovoltaic energy generation outweigh the costs, according to new research from the MIT Energy Initiative. Over a seven-year period, decline in PV costs outpaced decline in value; by 2017, market, health, and climate benefits outweighed the cost of PV systems.

Photovoltaic system for power generation. A basic photovoltaic system integrated with utility grid is shown in Fig. 2. The PV array converts the solar energy to dc power, which is directly dependent on insolation. Blocking diode facilitates the array generated power to flow only towards the power conditioner.
Benchmark prices for on-grid PV power were set to balance the cost of PV power generation and of coal-fired power production, as well as to promote inter-regional power transmission. Initially, China implemented the feed-in tariff (FIT) policy in 2011, which set the price of on-grid PV power to approximately 1.15 yuan/kWh.
