| dc.description | The potential of solar photovoltaic (PV) technology as a transformative and sustainable energy solution in the context of global energy challenges is explored in this work. The advancements in solar PV technology, including innovative cell architectures like heterojunction and Passivated Emitter Rear Contact (PERC) cells, the emergence of perovskite solar cells, and the influence of roll-to-roll manufacturing processes are discussed in this paper. The paper also highlights the diversification of energy portfolios, enhanced energy system reliability, resilient energy infrastructure, energy security, and the profound environmental benefits associated with solar PV technology. The results of a performance study involving a prototype electric vehicle, both with and without integrating a solar panel as an alternative energy source are noted. The findings reveal a substantial increase in the vehicle's endurance when the solar panel is incorporated, emphasizing the transformative potential of solar PV in reshaping energy systems, mitigating environmental hazards, and promoting responsible land use. The work underscores the ongoing journey towards a cleaner and more resilient energy future, empowered by the harnessing of solar energy. | |
