A Review Article on Solar Energy for Sustainable Development of Human Life on Our Mother Earth

U. Sridevi, D. Chinni Krishna

Abstract: The present global energy situation, led by the fossil fuels, has some serious concerns such as the impacts on regional climatic conditions, environmental degradation, depletion of fuel resources and the energy security. Nuclear power plants also have major reservations such as the associated radioactive emissions. It is thus indispensable to adopt renewable sources of energy for the global development of a sustainable electricity generation system. Solar energy is a widely distributed, sustainable, and renewable energy source. As a renewable resource, solar energy has the capability to replace the widely used fossil fuel resource in the near future. In the recent times, renewable energy sources have gained a major importance due to their worldwide social acceptance and an ability to provide sustainable energy generation to cater world electricity requirements. With a view to know the basic requirements to produce solar power like solar panels for generation of photo electrons, efficient batteries to store the solar power and to know the present status of Solar energy generated by various countries and their storage mechanisms and to know the effective utilization of solar power for sustainable growth of human development, a review on Solar energy has been undertaken and it has been observed from our world data that the total solar power produced in the world is around 1310.02 Twh (Tera watt hour). Out of which China is on the top by producing 427.72 Twh. India is in 4th place by producing 95.16 Twh only. It is observed from our world data, the energy produced by hydro power is on the top by producing above 5000Twh, it is observed from the data that, there is almost zero solar power in the year 2010, but, as the cooperation and support of the government policies, tremendous development in technology the production of solar power is increasing rapidly and achieved the above target. There is a strong hope that the majority of future energy is through solar power only to run our day to day energy requirements.
