"Spatial Footprint" Challenges of Solar Energy Use
Solar energy can be utilized in either passive or active systems.
Passive systems do not contain any internal energy sources, and can be
used for direct heating (e.g. solar dryers, water heaters, etc.) or
day-time lighting (e.g. “green” office buildings). Photovoltaic devices
are an example of active systems based on semiconductor technology,
often using silicon (an indirect semiconductor).
The advantages of using solar radiation are well established and often cited – such as their ability (with proper design) to lower energy costs, reduce emissions and other environmental pollution, thereby initiating the process of competitively replacing hydrocarbon use, and thus contributing to sustainable development...
