Abstract

The generation of power from solar-based power plants has wide issues in terms of less solar radiation throughout the year. One more issues pertaining the solar power plants is solar panel costs are very high and the power generation per unit is Rupees twenty, In this research study, methods used for the generation of solar panels and the various types of literature concerning the generation of power, maintenance of panels and solar radiation intensities parameters are deeply investigated and the minimal land requirements for installing the solar power plants has been discussed. The important findings from the various kinds of investigations that have recently been conducted on solar photovoltaic, solar thermal and solar photo voltaic thermal systems is inclination angle varying from 20 degrees results in achieving 1200 W/m2 followed by solar Photovoltaic systems gives enormous power attainment of 10 kWh/m2 /day. But Solar Photovoltaic and solar thermal give the very least power generation than solar photovoltaic thermal systems range of 2 kWh/m2 /day to 4 kWh/m2 / day. The novelty from various findings and literature gaps involved in a research study is design of solar photo voltaic thermal systems is very simple and requires very little space compared to solar photo voltaic and thermal systems.
