Abstract
Energy is essential for the continuation and development of human existence at every stage. The majority of a nation’s energy requirements may be satisfied by commercial sources such as fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), hydroelectric electricity, and nuclear power. These are treated as the three primary sources for the commercial energy sources. Solar energy from the sun is all around us every day, much like the air we breathe. The sun’s life-giving qualities of warmth and light have long been appreciated by us. Solar energy may now be utilized for specific purposes inside homes and businesses thanks to advancements in technology. The pace at which energy is demanded is steadily and alarmingly increasing year after year. With solar technology, we can collect energy from the sun for immediate use. Heat is one method in which solar energy may be stored, and the light of the sun can be harnessed to provide electricity for a business or a residence. Because solar radiation varies across the country, system performance assumptions should be dependent on location and orientation. This work provides a brief overview of factors to be considered for the study energy resources.
