Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Today, the main driver of socioeconomic development is energy. However, the interest in renewable energy is important because of the increasing level of environmental concern. Due to the ongoing depletion of fossil fuels, this alternative energy source is steadily growing in popularity. It is the energy that is derived from the sun, wind, rain, etc. Solar energy has one of the greatest potentialities for conversion into electric power among unconventional, renewable energy sources. To improve efficiency, a solar system should produce as much electricity as possible. So we keep the solar panels aligned with the sun for optimum power production. This chapter discusses the production of electricity from solar energy. By appropriately positioning the panel in line with the position of the sun, the suggested method assures the maximum efficiency of the conversion of solar energy into electricity.
