Summary
Solar technologies are expected to play an important role in decarbonization and climate change mitigation. Solar energy can be used in several ways to generate electrical, thermal, chemical, or mechanical energy. Despite several advances over the last few decades, there are still a number of obstacles to efficient solar energy generation and storage. The operation and performance of the solar system are also influenced by geographical and climatic conditions. As a backup to solar photovoltaics, solar thermal technologies have a lot of promise. Furthermore, hybrid technologies can help to improve the efficiency of thermal and electrical energy generation. This special issue will highlight recent research findings in various approaches to improving performance and efficiency. This special issue will focus on recent research achievements in various approaches to optimize the performance, efficiency, and economics aspects of solar system. Articles may describe innovative technical developments, experimental, numerical modeling, analytical, case studies, or review reports on potential technological solutions.
