Solar energy presents a scientific challenge beyond the efficient conversion of solar photons to electricity, fuel, and heat. Once conversion on a large scale is achieved, we must find ways to store the large quantities of electricity and heat that we will produce. Access to solar energy is interrupted by natural cycles of day–night, cloudy
Our analysis identifies five major causes of the wide gap between technical potential and actual generation per unit of land, and the results suggest that optimizing the construction of PV farms, improving grid integration of solar power, and raising power conversion efficiency, are the key pathways to realize the full potential of solar power
Solar energy is durable and has a good average lifespan but can be costly, as PV panels lose efficiency due to dust and pollution. The regular cleaning of PV panels, in turn, demands substantial cost.

In other words, the solar cell efficiency is obtained by dividing the solar cell output energy by the input energy from the sun [[45], [46]]. The sunlight''s wavelength, the cell temperature, recombination, and reflections are factors that govern the efficiency of a PV cell. For example, the higher the temperature of the cell, the lower its efficiency will be. The PV cell
It is widely agreed that developing variable renewable energy (VRE), especially from wind and solar, is an essential component of a strategy to mitigate global climate change [1], [2].This is especially true for China, which ranks first by carbon dioxide (CO 2) emissions [3] and in 2019 emitted ten gigatonnes [4].Without a significant reduction of China''s greenhouse gas
Given China''s progress in energy efficiency, the E4 programme focuses on strategic development and identification of new energy efficiency challenges.
