Solar Power—A typical new energy source Catalogue Solar Power—A typical ‘new energy source’1 Abstract 1 Introduction 1 Advantages(features) 2 Application area 3 Feasibility 4 Economic prospect 4 System for converting solar power 5 Conclusion6 Reference7 Abstract Climate change, pollution, and energy insecurity are among the greatest problems of our time. Addressing them requires major changes in our energy infrastructure. So the word ‘new energy source’ is developed as an integrity of wind, micro-hydro, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and solar power. In this article, we mainly discuss about solar power, as a typical clean energy source. In Part 1, I illustrate the major benefits and features of applying solar power. In Part2, I analyze the economic prospect and feasibility of solar power. And in Part3, I introduce the solar power systems that have been put into use. Introduction The fast depleting conventional energy sources and todays continuously increasing energy demand in the context of environmental issues, have encouraged intensive research for new, more efficient, and green power plants with advanced technology. Since environmental protection concerns are increasing in the whole world today, both new energy and clean fuel technologies are being intensively pursued and investigated. Most of the renewable energy from wind, micro-hydro, tidal, geothermal, biomass, and solar are converted into electrical energy to be delivered either to the utility grid directly or isolated loads. Human race has been harnessing solar energy, radiant light and heat from the sun since ancient times using a range of ever-evolving technologies. Solar energy technologies include solar heating, solar photovoltaic, solar thermal electricity and solar architecture, which can make significant contributions towards solving some of the most pressing energy problems now faced by
