A solar energy conversion system (SECS),[1][2][3] or solar energy harvester are general terms that could be used for any machine that, powered by the solar energy, either generates a mechanical energy that can be used to directly heat a fluid or generates electricity. The term can thus refer to:
- thermal solar systems,
- photovoltaic solar systems,
- Dye-sensitized_solar_cells,
- Luminescent solar concentrators,
- Concentrating solar power systems,
- Photon Enhanced Thermionic Emission systems[4], ...
Operation
The conversion of the energy of the power of the sun into more useful forms is done using a variety of ways, each depending on the type of system employed.
