| Özet |
| Many seminars and conferences have been held to address environmental challenges caused by countries’ high use of fossil fuels so far. Reducing fossil fuel consumption and increasing renewable resource use is necessary for economic and ecological stability. Solar energy appears to be the best renewable source on Earth due to its various benefits. Accordingly, solar energy reduces greenhouse gas emissions, improves land and water quality, increases energy supply, provides energy security and independence, and gives rural communities in emerging economies access to power. Two fundamental components make up solar energy technology: photovoltaic (PV) cells and concentrating solar power (CSP) technologies. PV cells convert sunlight directly into electricity, whereas CSP technologies convert sunlight into heat, which drives energy-generating steam turbines. The cost of photovoltaic (PV) cells has decreased significantly over recent decades due to increased investments and technological developments in the solar energy industry. Hence, the share of solar energy in total installed capacity and in total electricity generation from renewables has increased in recent decades. |
