The recent progress of human kind has so far been strongly related to the use of fossil fuels. Nowadays, the uncontrolled growth of their use is producing a series of threats such as local pollution, global warming, and the unbalance between their growing demand and their progressive depletion is creating serious geopolitical frictions which may pu...

... economies (China, India, Indonesia, Brazil,…) are rapidly catching up, in a search for better quality of life for their populations. As a result, if we observe energy consumption trends in the different World regions, we will notice strong differences: from the constant and even declining slope of our old Europe to the slightly increasing trend of North America to the high-rocketing tendency of Asia Pacific (see figure 4). If China alone should reach the same per capita energy consumption of Italy it would more than double the Asia Pacific share, pushing world consumption to a thrilling 17,000 Mtoe. ...

Aim:The paper’s objective is to determine the behavior and attitudes of Polish investors and users towards photovoltaic installations in Poland. Methods: The survey was carried out by ARC Rynek i Opinia (the Institute of Opinion and Market Research), commissioned by the company Alians-OZE, which, as part of the cooperation between business practice and science, made the results of the research available to the authors of this paper. The study was carried out in April 2021 using the CAWI technique. Results: The most important advantage of using photovoltaic micro-installations included factors such as using a source of free energy and independence from electricity price increases. The most important disadvantages were the high price of installation and the period of return on investment. Conclusions: The individual users of photovoltaic micro-installations, due to their activities in the green energy market as prosumers, not only increased the amount of renewable energy available, but also increased the social awareness of the benefits of such solutions. Therefore, it is important to promote as part of the pro-ecological policy, as well as the measures aimed at promoting this renewable energy source among individual users.

The need for electrical energy continues to increase, making the supply of fossil energy reserves dwindling, it is necessary to use alternative energy using new renewable energy sources so that it can overcome the current fossil energy crisis [1]- [3]. The use of electrical energy that is currently being used as final energy for electric power in the coming years will continue to increase, due to technological developments in the fields of transportation, industry, household and commercial use electrical energy [4], [5]. ...
To overcome the fossil energy crisis due to the increasing need for electrical energy, new renewable energy sources are needed. Due to technological developments in the fields of transportation, industry, household, and commercial use. Indonesia's geography has the potential to apply new renewable energy, more specifically photovoltaic (PV). However, it is greatly influenced by environmental factors such as solar radiation, voltage, which have an impact on the output power efficiency and performance. So, it is necessary to test both measurements and calculations to see the optimization of output power and PV efficiency. From previous research, it has not been carried out, especially in the experimental method Universitas Pamulang: measurement and empirical and for a sufficiently high capacity with the aim of optimal output power. Methods of measuring sunlight intensity, voltage and current, the calculation of converting sunlight intensity to solar constellation, power, efficiency, and performance ratio (PR). The average value being 721 W/m 2 an efficiency value of 19.9% and a value PR is obtained of 0.967 or 96.7% is still realistic. So that the system is declared optimal.

Solar cells system has been gaining remarkable attention in the photovoltaic (PV) industry in recent years. Therefore, many people used solar cells in their life. Hence, from time to time, many industries keep improve it to get the best of efficiency of the solar cell. In this work, it presents ray tracing of light trapping (LT) schemes in thin c-Si to enhance broadband light absorption within 300-1,200 nm wavelength region. For the ray tracing simulation, mono c-Si wafer with 100 μm thickness is investigated and solar spectrum (AM1.5G) at normal incidence is used. Random planar and upright pyramid front surface with silicon nitride (SiNx) anti-reflective coatings (ARC) with the difference thicknesses are the LT schemes being studies in this work. The broadband anti-reflective coating can effectively reduce the optical loss and improve the energy efficiency in the solar cells. The optical properties of the thin c-Si are analyzed with incremental LT schemes. Not only that, the current density also calculated from the absorption curve. Optical properties and current density were evaluated to find out the best thickness and refractive index of the silicon nitride (SiNx). The initial simulation results show that the solar cell current density is about 24.81 mA/cm 2. A great Jmax enhancement in solar cell was achieved with utilizing the ARC thickness and type of front surface. Among the 6 proposed scheme, the scheme with upright pyramid front surface of 75 nm SiNx ARC thickness realized a good improvement in current density of 41.19 mA/cm 2. This leads to Jmax enhancement of 66.02 % when compared to the reference c-Si.

La crisis energética es una realidad que se está confrontando en el mundo, derivando en impactos sociales, económicos y ambientales, los cuales en muchos casos resultan difíciles de cuantificar y valorar de manera objetiva. Aún la mayoría de los vehículos y maquinarias dependen del combustible fósil, sin ser el sector agropecuario la excepción. Por otra parte, la tecnología e innovación, en particular la desarrollada durante la última década, ha puesto al alcance de las personas alternativas energéticas viables, inclusive para su utilización en la producción agropecuaria. El presente trabajo es una revisión, que se centra en energías renovables, como la solar fotovoltaica, la eólica, el biogás y el hidrógeno; que pueden contribuir con el desarrollo eficiente del sector agropecuario en Panamá, con potenciales beneficios económicos, reduciendo el riesgo de contaminación ambiental y sirviendo como medios de integración y responsabilidad social. Se consultó literatura especializada sobre la materia, además de compartir alcances de los propios autores. Se espera que este trabajo sirva como elemento orientador, hacia la sostenibilidad y desarrollo agroindustrial.

Nowadays, the technologies of electricity generation in distributed systems are usually associated with Renewable Energy Sources (RES). The choice of the construction site depends mainly on the availability of the power system. However, energy planning, especially in case of RES, is a complex process involving multiple and often conflicting objectives. The complexity of the selection of the electricity system is typically addressed with the use of multi-criteria tools, involving all of the considered criteria and also different methods of their aggregation. The result is a final ranking of the available alternatives. This paper describes the application of a multi-criteria decision tool for the comparative analysis of the use of alternative options of the PV technology for electricity production. Four decision variants are considered, including the different construction of solar farms (static and movable structure) and different types of configuration of individual installation (off and on-grid). The construction of each new sources of electricity generation, including PV, is the multi-threaded and multi-dimensional decision problem. The criteria used in the analysis combine economic, environmental and social issues. The first of the considered criterion is the Net Present Value (NPV) which determines the economic viability of the project. The second criterion, thermo-ecological cost (TEC), connecting energy and environmental issues. Finally, the Land Use (LU) is considered as a social criterion. As aggregation function, the Weighted Sum Method (WSM) is used. The sensitivity analysis of the criteria weights was performed with the use of a novel method involving Monte Carlo simulation and a method of data reconciliation.
