Solar energy is one of the best alternative renewable sources of energy that is freely and abundantly available at the least maintenance and operation costs. Solar radiation is captured and converted into electricity with the help of solar PV panels. The present PV technologies implement semiconductor materials that are also found in computers and other electronic equipment. The use of semiconductor materials is mainly due to their ability to release electrons from the atomic bonds to produce electricity.


The pressing need for alternative energy sources is due to the rapid depleting non-renewable sources for photovoltaics. The global photovoltaic market is predicted to reach a value of 55,621 megawatts by the year 2015, with a compounded annual growth rate CAGR of 38%. Due to continuous developments in this market, governments and several other private enterprises contribute their investments and support to the growth of this market.
