Abstract

The increasing demand for energy, the continuous reduction in existing sources of fossil fuels and the growing concern regarding environmental pollution, have pushed mankind to explore new technologies for the production of electrical energy using clean, renewable sources, such as solar energy, wind energy, etc. Among the non-conventional, renewable energy sources, solar energy affords a great potential for conversion into electric power, able to ensure an important part of the electrical energy needs of the planet. Solar energy is free, practically inexhaustible, and involves no polluting residues or greenhouse gas emissions.
