Here's a list of the most relevant papers on solar power

Research in solar power focuses on developing more efficient and cost-effective ways to harness the energy from the sun. There are several areas of research within the field of solar power, including:

  • Solar Cell Technology: Researchers are working to improve the efficiency of solar cells, which are devices that convert sunlight into electricity. This includes developing new materials for solar cells, such as perovskites and quantum dots, as well as exploring new cell structures, such as multi-junction and concentrator cells, that can increase the efficiency of solar cells.
  • Solar Thermal Energy: Researchers are working to develop more efficient ways to convert sunlight into heat, which can then be used for a variety of applications, such as heating water or generating electricity. This includes developing new materials and designs for solar thermal collectors, as well as exploring new applications for solar thermal energy, such as desalination and hydrogen production.
  • Solar Energy Storage: One of the main challenges facing solar power is how to store the energy generated during sunlight hours for use during periods of low sunlight, such as at night or on cloudy days. Researchers are working on developing new storage technologies, such as advanced batteries and hydrogen fuel cells, that can store large amounts of energy for long periods of time.
  • Solar Energy Systems and Integration: Researchers are working on developing more efficient and cost-effective ways to integrate solar power into the existing energy grid. This includes developing new control systems for managing the integration of solar power into the grid, as well as exploring new business models for the distribution and consumption of solar power.
  • Overall, research in solar power is aimed at making solar energy more efficient, cost-effective, and reliable, accelerating the transition to renewable energy sources, and reducing the dependence on fossil fuels.
