Abstract

Nowadays, by increasing prices of oil and gas, global warming effect, can damage the environment and ecosystem. The promising incentives to develop alternative energy resources with high efficiency and low emission are very important. Although many types of large scale energy harvesters have been introduced over the years, but researches show that solar energy harvesting is one of the closest options to meet these considerations. Solar harvesting can be done using various methods in present. Comparison and brief explanation of these various types of high power solar energy harvesters has been presented through this research. Much emphasis has been put on high solar power energy harvesting from 1 MW and above. The technology discussed in this report is based on current progress on researches and available technologies around the world at present. Comparison between concentrating Solar Power with photovoltaic plants has been compared and evaluated. The comparison of concentrating solar power between parabolic trough and power tower also takes a part in this report. The analysis has been done by gathering the related information and data from previous studies, journals from related sites and authorities. The comparisons carried out through this research will help in term of to determine the effectiveness and appropriate use of particular solar energy harvesters incorporate with the given facts to produce optimal output for clean energy generation using solar energy harvesting.
