A STATE OF ART REVIEW ON THE RECENT DEVELOPMENTS IN SOLAR AIR HEATING TECHNOLOGY
Keywords:
solar photovoltaic, solar air heating technology, renewable energyAbstract
The sun is an incredible and renewable resource that has the power to fuel life on earth and provide clean, sustainable energy to all of its inhabitants. In fact, more energy from the sun reaches our planet in one hour than is used by the entire population of the world in one year. The sun’s energy can be converted into electricity through solar photovoltaic (PV) modules (photo = light, voltaic = electricity). With the escalating expense of traditional energy sources, it's important to have access to alternatives like solar air heating technology, which uses only pure, renewable energy. It is possible to heat air using the "solar air heating systems" by absorbing the sun's thermal energy and recirculating the resulting air within a structure. In this paper, a literature survey has been conducted to study the developments in the field of the solar heating technology while covering the different principles of the same.
