Abstract

Our aim of this work is to present a review of solar photovoltaic (PV) systems and technologies. The principle of functioning of a PV system and its major components are first discussed. The types of PV systems are described regarding the connections and characteristics of each type. PV technology generations are demonstrated, including the types, properties, advantages and barriers of each generation. It was revealed that the first generation is the oldest among the three PV generations and the most commonly utilized due to its high efficiency in spite the high cost and complex fabrication process of silicon; the second generation is characterized by its low efficiency and cost and flexibility compared to other generations; and the third generation is not commercially proven yet in spite the fact that it has the highest efficiency and relatively low cost, its raw materials are easy to find and its fabrication process is easier than the other generations. It was shown that the target of all the conducted studies is to study the PV technology to enhance its performance and optimize the benefit from solar energy by reducing conventional energy dependence, mitigating CO₂ emissions and promote the economic performance.

太阳能光伏技术的分类及应用综述

& lt; abstract>我们这项工作的目的是介绍太阳能光伏(PV)系统和技术的综述。首先讨论了光伏系统的工作原理及其主要组成部分。根据每种类型的连接和特性描述了PV系统的类型。介绍了光伏技术的发展，包括每一代的类型、特性、优势和障碍。结果表明，第一代光伏是三代光伏中最古老的一代，尽管硅的成本高，制造工艺复杂，但由于其效率高，因此应用最广泛;与前几代相比，第二代的特点是效率低、成本低、灵活性差;第三代虽然效率最高，成本相对较低，但其原材料容易找到，制造工艺也比前几代更容易，但尚未得到商业验证。结果表明，所进行的所有研究的目标都是研究光伏技术，通过降低常规能源依赖，减少CO2减排，促进经济效益。& lt; / abstract>
