Photovoltaics (PV) is the field of technology and research related to the application of solar cells for energy production by converting sun energy (sunlight, including sun ultra violet radiation) directly into electricity by the photovoltaic effect. The latter refers to the process of converting light (photons) to electricity (voltage).
Solar panels that contain photovoltaic cells are installed in locations that maximize their exposure to solar energy. The cells are made up of a semiconductor material that generates a small amount of direct current when struck by the sun's photons.
A review of major solar photovoltaic technologies comprising of PV power generation, Hybrid PV generation, various light absorbing materials, performance and reliability of PV system, sizing, distribution and control is presented.
Photovoltaic (PV) materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. What is photovoltaic (PV) technology and how does it work? PV materials and devices convert sunlight into electrical energy. A single PV device is known as a cell. An individual PV cell is usually small, typically producing about 1 or 2 watts of power.
Photovoltaic power generation A photovoltaic power generation system consists of multiple components like cells, mechanical and electrical connections and mountings and means of regulating and/or modifying the electrical output.

[PDF Version]The development of energy storage technologies is crucial for addressing the volatility of RE generation and promoting the transformation of the power system.
Energy security has major three measures: physical accessibility, economic affordability and environmental acceptability. For regions with an abundance of solar energy, solar thermal energy storage technology offers tremendous potential for ensuring energy security, minimizing carbon footprints, and reaching sustainable development goals.
Most technologies are not passed down in a single lineage. The development of energy storage technology (EST) has become an important guarantee for solving the volatility of renewable energy (RE) generation and promoting the transformation of the power system.
It presents a detailed overview of common energy storage models and configuration methods. Based on the reviewed articles, the future development of energy storage will be more oriented toward the study of power characteristics and frequency characteristics, with more focus on the stability effects brought by transient shocks.
Due to rapid development of energy storage technology, the research and demonstration of energy storage are expanding from small-scale towards large-scale. United States, Japan, the European Union have proposed a series of policies for applications of energy storage technology to promote and support industrial development [12 – 16].

To address the needs of the fast growth of the PV power industry in China, it is critical to identify, analyze and understand the growth path and the characteristics of the industry.
The Chinese solar industry is at a pivotal point. Rapid solar capacity expansion overwhelms the grid, PV manufacturers compete for market shares, and then large target markets slap import tariffs on Chinese PV products, taking off their competitive edge.
Yao and Cai (2019) analyzed the current status of solar energy development in China, presenting the distribution of solar resources, the history of the PV industry, and the development of core technologies in China. The results showed that the Chinese PV industry still needs innovative solutions to meet the market demand.
In the next 10 years, China's solar PV power market will turn from independent power systems to grid-connected power systems, which will include desert power stations and city roof power systems. The growth route of the policies to the solar PV power projects are shown in Fig.8.
The great demand of global markets is believed to be one of the most important factors. Zhang et al. showed that the Chinese solar PV industry has been influenced greatly by overseas markets, for example in European countries such as Germany. Another important factor is the active role of the Chinese government, with its various policy tools.
The result of this investment is that China has a number of the world's leading PV companies as well as the successful establishment of research and development centers . Another factor that will increase the market for the solar PV power industry is China's demand for electricity, which continues to grow rapidly.
China is playing an increasingly immense role in the PV electricity supply. It has been estimated that nearly 40% of the global installed PV capacity will be held by China by 2023 (International Energy Agency 2018).
